Salvage Efforts Fail To Float The Manhattan
The United States liner Manhattan carrying 200 passengers remained stranded on a sand bar off Palm Beach as salvage operators plan new tactics. W.H. Lee, the company engineer, said the ship would be lightened by pumping out water before the next pull. A wrecking tug from Key West stood by for another attempt after the liner ran aground nine miles north of the resort near a dinner hour. Passengers were housed at the Palm Beach Biltmore, and the line offered refunds and assistance home or elsewhere.
