Samuel Foster (Propeller), aground, 8 Oct 1897
Description
- Full Text
The SAMUEL FOSTER, loaded with pig iron, bound for Tonawanda, passed the International Bridge at 8:25 yesterday morning. While continuing her way down the river she went on a shoal at Germania Park. She had a good load on and was hard aground. Tugs were called and went to her assistance, but it was impossible for 3 tugs to budge the FOSTER an inch. It was found that before the boat could be released it would be necessary to lighten it. So a lighter was sent for, and at a late hour last night some of the cargo of the FOSTER still was being taken off.
