Respuesta:
In January 1856, the USM Pacific, one of America's first steam-powered ocean liners, left Liverpool for New York. They never saw her again. That winter was particularly brutal, with many ships reporting large ice fields in the North Atlantic, including a British ocean liner that left Liverpool three days after the Pacific and was delayed and damaged by ice on its way to New York. So when the Pacific did not appear at its destination, the general conclusion was that it had suffered fatal damage after colliding with a large mass of ice.
The loss of the Pacific brought a tragic end to the stellar career of its captain, Asa Eldridge. Two years earlier, sailing a clipper from New York to Liverpool, he had set a transatlantic speed record that still stands today. And before that, Cornelius Vanderbilt had personally chosen him as skipper for the tycoon's private steam yacht on a four-month cruise to Europe.
That prestigious Vanderbilt assignment reflected Eldridge's vast experience commanding a variety of vessels sailing to many different parts of the world. Interestingly, the various phases of his career coincided with key developments in maritime trade that had profound effects on the international standing and growth of the U.S. And so, in telling Eldridge's story, The Lost Hero of Cape Cod as well. offers a guided tour of what many experts consider the "golden age" of American maritime history.
