Nantucket South Shoal light vessel in dire storm
In a severe North Atlantic gale the Nantucket South Shoal relief light vessel No 58 sprang a leaky fireroom and, with wireless out at 3 30 pm, its fires were extinguished and the vessel helpless. Efforts to aid were hindered by a broken steering mechanism on the gunboat Hist, prompting dispatch of the lighthouse tender Azalea from New Bedford. Officials expected the Azalea to reach the stricken lightship before morning while wind shifts hint at sea flattening. The lightship, anchored 42 miles southeast of Tom Nevers Head near the Gulf Stream, had five watertight compartments and had not been at sea long.
