Starbuck Loss Shocks Honolulu Waterfront
Starbuck and Naw stories dominate the morning news as two famed vessels face disaster. Tillie Starbuck abandoned off Chile with crew safe at Coquimbo. Naw returns to New York in a crippled state. Davies & Co. confirm Starbuck abandonment and safe crew. Castle & Cooke note total loss. Starbuck left New York April 10 with general merchandise for Davies & Co., including about 1600 tons for Honolulu Iron Works. Built in 1883 by John Roach & Son, Starbuck shared early steel-ship prestige with Bement and City of New York. Bement perished by fire near Cape Horn, City of New York lost near San Francisco. Starbuck once shone in island trade, famed for rapid New York runs under Captain Curtis.
