Mayflower Collides With Schooner Menawa Off Newport
President Roosevelt’s yacht Mayflower ran into the lumber schooner Menawa amidships in fog near New Haven and New London. Six crewmen in black oilskins were rescued by a Mayflower lifeboat and brought aboard. The President, unaware of the collision, arranged money for the Menawa crew to return home and ordered a full Navy inquiry. The Menawa, bound from Machias to New York, was later reported damaged but potentially salvageable.
