Download or read book Hudson River Steamboat Catastrophes written by J. Thomas Allison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the mid-1800s, steamboats carried people between New York City and the Albany area on the Hudson River. Romantic images lull us into believing it was a quiet means of travel, but a crowded river, faulty equipment and the bravado of the captains resulted in at least one major catastrophe every year. Night boats collided and sank, carelessness caused boiler explosions, races put passengers at risk and fires would quickly swallow the wooden vessels. The grand "Empire of Troy "suffered many collisions. The "Swallow" broke in two on a rock, "Reindeer"'s explosion took forty lives at once and the "Oregon" and "C. Vanderbilt" entered into an epic and dangerous race. Collected from eyewitness accounts, these are some of the most exciting and frightening stories of peril aboard steamboats on the Hudson River.

Download or read book Ship Ablaze written by Ed O'Donnell and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of one of the greatest tragedies in New York history On June 15, 1904, the steamship General Slocum was heading from Manhattan to Long Island Sound when a fire erupted in one of the storage rooms. Faced with an untrained crew, crumbling life jackets, and inaccessible lifeboats, hundreds of terrified passengers--few of which were experienced swimmers--fled into the water. By the time the captain found a safe shore for landing, more than 1000 people had perished. It was New York’s deadliest tragedy prior to September 11, 2001. The only book available on this compelling chapter in the city’s history, Ship Ablaze draws on firsthand accounts to examine why the death toll was so high, how the city responded, and why this event failed to achieve the infamy of the Titanic’s 1912 demise or the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Masterfully capturing both the horror of the event and heroism of men, women, and children aboard the ship as the inferno spread, historian Edward T. O’Donnell brings to life a bygone community while honoring the victims of that forgotten day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Steam-Boat Having been for several years in what Mrs. Maclecket, my worthy landlady, calls a com plaining way, I was persuaded by her advice to tr the benefit of the sea air in the steam-boat to reenock; and I found myself greatly ad vantaged by the same. I am not, however, sure that the benefit which my strength and ap petite received in those sea voyages was so much owing to the change of air, and the wholesome fume of the salt-water that I breath ed, as from the conversible and talkative com pany which I found among the other passen gers; by which my Spirits were maintained in a state jocund temperance, and my thoughts so lifted out of the cares of business, that I was, for the time, a new. Creature, bringing back with me to behind the counter a sort of youth thiness that lasted sometimes more than a fort night; keeping ofl' what Mrs. Maclecket called the hypochonders, till I again fell out of order.
