Fishermen dispute Columbus wreck location near Devil's Bridge
Reports from Boston dated January 23 state fishermen claim the City of Columbus struck the Mussel Bed beyond the buoy rather than at Devil's Bridge. They contend only about fifteen feet of water existed and Captain Wright’s account of buoy sighting on the steamer’s port bow is correct. Quartermaster McDonald says Wright directed a southwest by west course toward Nobska light and the vessel struck rocks after the state room warning to turn west south west. Wright concedes the change at Nobska but says the second mate did not implement the Tarpaulin Cave light adjustment, leading to the wreck.
