English: Original caption: “The Steam Ship President, Lieut. Roberts R.N. Commander. The Largest in the World. Supposed to have struck an ICEBERG on her voyage from New York to Liverpool in March 1841 and sunk with all on board ... by which heart-rending accurrence [sic] 109 Persons perished. Extreme length 275 Feet; Beam 41 Feet; Burden 2366 Tons.” (The original's left margin has been cut off.) The supposition of an iceberg as the culprit was a later notion; the available evidence makes it unlikely.
Deutsch: Der bei seiner vierten Atlantiküberquerung im März 1841 spurlos verschwundene Raddampfer President. |
