Caption

The midships saloon of the City of New York, 1864. 'The steam-ship City of New York, one of the ships belonging to the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company, usually called the Inman line, remains still fixed upon Daunt's Rock, at the entrance of Cork or Queenstown harbour [in Ireland], where she struck on the morning of Tuesday week...The unfortunate City of New York, having a hole of ten feet by three in her bottom, and being submerged by high tides above her upper decks, soon became full of water...[The engraving shows]...the midship dining saloon and berths in this condition, with beds, hampers, barrels, and furniture all floating about. We are glad to learn, however, that there is still a chance of saving this fine ship'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
