The Killer Ship and the Albatross Disaster Tale
Brooklyn man Carl L. Rynning recounts the 1913 voyage of the windjammer Albatross from Buenos Aires to South Africa. The rotting hull, rats everywhere, a deadly four foot bilge, and a gale pushed the ship toward rocks before a jury of crew chose a desperate shoreward wrecking to save lives. The crew pumped for hours, patched a leak with bags and canvas, and finally limped into East London with the battered vessel a public spectacle.
