Capsized Philadelphia pleasure trip ends in tragedy near Sandy Hook
A schooner carrying 16 passengers from Atlantic City to New York capsized in a violent gale off Sandy Hook. Seven died, including Miss Emma Merritt and Miss Mamie Stevens, with Bessie Merritt missing. The craft sank after a squall tore the vessel over, many passengers clinging to planks as others perished from suffocation.
