When the R.M.S. GERMANIC Sank at her Pier (1899)

In February, 1899, after a freakish winter storm in the North Atlantic, the White Star Line Germanic limped into New York Harbor with 1,800 tons of ice accumulated on her decks in her rigging. Within a day or two, the ship sank at her moorings. This is the story of the incident and the remarkable raising of the massive vessel.

A special thank-you to the Titanic International Society, who actively works to keep the story of the Titanic and White Star Line alive.
