The City of New York steam-ship on Daunt's Rock, at the entrance of Queenstown Harbour, 1864. Creator: Smyth
The City of New York steam-ship on Daunt's Rock, at the entrance of Queenstown Harbour, [Ireland], 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, where she struck on the morning of Tuesday week. [The engraving]...shows the position of the ship last Saturday, when she presented no external appearance of injury; the tug-boats were alongside removing her cargo, and there was another large steamer, which is seen on the right hand of our View - the City of Glasgow, just arrived from New York, and about to enter the harbour. 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...We are glad to learn, however, that there is still a chance of saving this fine ship'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Dramatic Moment in Maritime History: The City of New York Steam-ship on Daunt's Rock, Queenstown Harbour, Ireland (1864)**
This striking photograph print captures a pivotal moment in the history of maritime trade. On a fateful morning in April 1864, the steam-ship City of New York found itself stranded on Daunt's Rock at the entrance to Queenstown Harbour, Cork/Ireland. The vessel, part of the Liverpool-based Inman Line, had been en route from New York when it struck the rocky outcropping.
The photograph shows the ship still fixed in place just a week after the incident, with tug-boats alongside removing its cargo and another large steamer - the City of Glasgow - waiting to enter the harbour. The unfortunate City of New York was taking on water at an alarming rate due to a 10-foot by 3-foot hole in its hull.
Despite this dire situation, there remained hope for salvaging the fine ship. This poignant image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in the face of adversity, while also highlighting the challenges faced by mariners during this period of rapid industrialization and global trade expansion.
