With Maureen's blessing, I will be sending through a transcription of a special report from the "Irish-American" newspaper (from New York City) on the 1857 wreck of a ship, Central America.  The paper did *not* give details as to where she was bound when she wrecked.  Also, when the paper was originally microfilmed, portions of the article were cut off.  I apologize for this beforehand.  However, it does make some interesting reading.  After the article (which will come in two parts due to length), lists of survivors and those missing will be sent through. Thank you for your patience, Tracy
