Our last photo is for information only and is not included with this lot: A newspaper article from "The San Francisco Call" detailing the ship's demise. Credit goes to the California Digital Newspaper Collection, Center for Bibliographic Studies and Research, University of California, Riverside, (http://cdnc.ucr.edu), for supplying a copy of the article. One stormy evening in August of 1896, roughly 400 miles off Santa Catharina, Brazil, the ship hit a hurricane and went down with her cargo and 14 sailors. Captain Dunphy as well as 14 others survived. If only objects could speak, this would certainly have one hell of a harrowing story.
