New York Times 1856
Ship Arrivals, Passenger Names and New Items, as reported
in the New York Times.
This is going to be a long work in progress
because of the volume of material. Many thanks to Diane McClay who
is tirelessly
transcribing these for us. Each issue contains some interesting advertisements
for ships about to sail eastbound or for the south. For interest,
we have included some here.

News from Halifax [N.S.], Tuesday, May 20
Arrival of the Canada at Halifax
Probable Loss of the Clipper Ship Racer
The Royal Mail Steamship, Canada, Captain Lang,
from Liverpool, on the afternoon of Saturday, May 10, arrived here
at 8:30 this evening. The Canada sailed at 10
P. M., with light southwest wind and thick fog, for Boston, where
she will be due about 8 A. M., on Thursday.
The steamship, Washington, arrived at Southampton,
on the morning of the 4th inst.
The steamship, Cambria, arrived at Liverpool,
a little before 1 A. M., on Thursday, the 8th, and the Collins
steamer, Baltic, arrived at 5 P. M., same day.
The Fulton sailed from Southampton for New York,
on Wednesday, the 7th with about 150 passengers and a full cargo.
The screw steamer, Canadian, sailed from Liverpool,
on the same day for Quebec, with 70 passengers, a mail, and a large
cargo.
The clipper ship, Racer, had gone ashore on
Arklow Bank, and would probably prove a total wreck. All her passengers
and crew, numbering over 500, were saved.
Latest news- The mate of the Racer reported
to the Liverpool Agent of the Associated Press, just
before the departure of the Canada, that the
ship was fast sinking in the sand, being then up to her spar
deck. There was no chance of saving the vessel, but divers might
recover part of her cargo. |
