Farallon Steamship Disaster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Farallon Steamship Disaster was the disaster of a wooden steamship that hit Black Reef in Cook Inlet and sank in Alaska in January 1910. Everyone on board evacuated to a near-by island and had to survive for a month in a mid-winter climate before they were rescued. Steve K. Lloyd wrote a book on the story.
