Ships and wrecks drift through Galveston harbor reports
The Wilmont from New Orleans struggled to free the Algiers after a line was cast aboard and failed. Tugs and a cutter towed and pulled until 11:30 p.m. with limited progress. A loy bank stopped further movement and lighters finally hoisted the ship off on January 11. The Algiers was towed to Galveston for repairs by the Bailey. The cutter Tallapoosa will move to Pensacola Monday for a rail excursion with officials. Nearby, vessels like the Rosegg and Mundale loaded cargos for Europe and South America. The Laguna anchors near Pier 2 and drags while repairs are planned at Ollinger Bruce Dry Docks. A rumor ties the Whittney Bodden Co. to a possible purchase of the Bruce Hawkins barkentine. The Nimrod and Echo tugs receive inspection and repairs, and the Percy B. carries lumber for export. The Verona will soon depart Ollinger Bruce for Dauphin Street. The Bottle Paper report notes a 1915 Heldergarde incident with survivors adrift for 42 hours seeking aid.
