Alameda Strands on Fort Point Rocks After Fog Envelops Bay
The Alameda steamship of the Orea nie Steamship Company ran aground near Fort Point during a dense fog as it attempted Honolulu. Captain Dowdell and Pilot Johnson argued over signals while passengers, mostly Japanese steerage, were evacuated to safety by tugs and the Golden Gate, with no fatalities reported. Fire and oil fuels sparked rescue efforts as Sea Rover and other vessels tried to free the ship, and officials coordinated to transfer passengers to safer ships at Fort Point and Seattle.
