Dense fog delayed several transatlantic steamers off New York rafts and forced two ships ashore near Thrallge Neck in Long Island Sound. Freighters Mohegan and H M Whitney grounded but were freed. Mohegan remained undamaged while Whitney proceeded to Boston. Other vessels waited for the fog to lift before docking. The Mauretania and Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm were among the delayed liners anchored offshore.
