[Loss of Steam Ship] Lengthy 19th c. Manuscript Poem
Item Details
Description
Manuscript poem, with several corrections/redactions. "Loss of the President / Steam Ship / Supposed to have foundered in the terrific Gale of January 1841 / In Transfer from New York to London." Circa 1845. 4to, 8 pp. (+ 4 blank), ink on wove (water-marked 1843, one blank water-marked 1845.) First and final leaves a bit dust-soiled, overall Good. ****************** The SS President was the largest in the world when first commissioned in 1840. A bit under-powered for its size and load, it sank en route from New York to Liverpool. The title of the manuscript errs with the date of January 1841 – the ship was actually lost in March. Nonetheless, it provides a contemporary perspective.
