Liner Amerika and Lucania Reach Dock After Rough Atlantic Crossing
The Hamburg American liner Amerika and Cunard’s Lucania arrived yesterday after a rough Atlantic crossing. The Amerika left Hamburg ten days ago and faced heavy northwest gales and high head seas most of the voyage. Passengers stayed indoors except for a few walks on deck while a small deck party fed trout in a sun deck tank. The Lucania set Cunard speed records for the fastest passage until surpassed by the Lusitania, completing the Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook run in 7 days 44 minutes with an average speed of 17.12 knots amid NW gales. Seating at meals was sparse, and many travelers reunited only after docking.
