NOTE:- The above casualty may be confused with another reported casualty, that of the GENEVA, which as a sister ship of the VIENNA was also built in 1873 and is reported sunk on Lake Superior October 24, 1873 ??? The VIENNA is listed in the 1875 Underwriters register, but the GENEVA is not, therefore ignore the VIENNA casualty.- Media Type
