Mohawk Is Third Ward Line Vessel to Meet Disaster
A collision off the New Jersey coast between the Mohawk and the Talisman left two seamen dead and 44 unaccounted for as rescue efforts saved 46 passengers and 197 crew members. The Mohawk, five hours from New York bound for Havana, was reported sunk at 8:30 p.m. though coast guard stations later said she remained afloat or beached on her side. Officials and witnesses described extensive beach crowds and emergency response as searchers scoured the area amid gale conditions and rough seas. Accurate passenger totals varied, with Ward Line officials citing different counts for passengers and crew. The incident follows other Ward Line disasters in recent months.
