The Atlantic off the Virginia North Carolina coast has a long toll of ships and lives. The San Jacinto breakup 40 miles off Virginia today adds to a saga dating to early voyagers. One crewman died on the San Jacinto, while earlier disasters cost more lives, including the Marine Sulphur Queen with 43 aboard never found, and the Pine Ridge in 1960 with eight lives lost. The African Queen disaster in 1958 caused no fatalities thanks to swift Coast Guard rescue.
