From: Lynn To: Kilmelkin@yahoo.com Cc: Ravens and Magpies -- Oh my Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:50 AM Subject: Please send this back to me. My mother really hated her name.I asked her once why her mother had named her Gertrude and she told me that her father's sister had drowned in a boat accident in the Hudson river just before she was born and so she was named after her. In the Sunday Record of June 24, 1984 they re-published the original article (April 24, 1913.) Three persons were drowned and four others had narrow escapes from the same fate this morning when the steam ferry boat, "The Ambrose," running between Troy and Green Island at Douw street went over the state dam at Middleburgh street. The Dead Miss Gertrude Breen, 17 Arch street, Green island, aged 25 years. Miss Nellie Maguire, 162 Paine street, Green island aged 35 years. Miss Mary Ahearn, 36 James street, Green Island aged 26 years. Besides the owner of the boat, William B. Curley, who resides at 20 Douw street, this city, and the three victims there were three men passengers on board, all of whom were rescued. They were: Arthur Jesmain, 168 Hudson avenue, Green Island. Albert Stebbins, who resides in a house boat anchored in the state basin. James M. Williams 156 Hudson avenue, Green Island Happened at 7:00A.M. Mr. Curley, who is captain and pilot , left the Troy side of the river at 6:15 o'clock this morning for his first trip, and because of a heavy fog decided instead of making trips every five minutes as usual to make them every fifteen minutes. Mr. Curley was making his third trip of the morning at the time of the accident and was coming across the river from Green Island to the dock at the foot of douw street where he was scheduled to arrive at 7 o'clock. Over the Dam: Mr. Curley had made the two previous trips without mishap although the fog was dense and he could not see. He usually sent the boat in a sort of half circle to the north in order to avoid getting too close the the state dam. and thought he was doing so on his third trip. There was no intimation that the boat was getting near the dam until Mr. Curley heard the noise of the rushing water. He then threw out his anchor, but it was too late, the current being very swift, and before the passengers could be warned the boat went over the dam carrying the occupants with it. (Note:Mr Curley also stated in another part of the article that he had put his compass next to the boiler and evidentially was getting an incorrect reading.) No time for Life Belts: The boat was equipped with life belts which were tied together, but there was no time to get at them. Some of them were found later floating near the dam.The ferry boat turned almost on end and a portion of the stern only is visible just south of the dam. The ware is twelve feet deep at the foot of the dam and three feet of water is running over the crest of the dam. There is shoal about ten feet from the boat where the water is only about three feet deep when the tide is out. At the time of the accident the tide was in. Caught in the Cabin: The women passengers, because of the fog, went into the cabin of the boat after boarding it at Green Island .The men were outside on deck. The women had no fear of the fog, because they had been passengers on the ferry boat almost every day except Sunday, since Mr. Curley first started to run it, and last summer had often crossed when it was very foggy. When the boat this morning struck the dam the men jumped but it is thought the women remained in the cabin and after the boat settled in the river the strong current carried their bodies down the river. As soon as the fog had lifted a number of boats were put out near the foot of the dam and attempts made to locate the bodies. Riverment stated that that the strong current would carry the bodies down the river and that they would probably be found a long distance from the dam.Captain Powers of the Third precinct station detailed Officers Trainor and McCarthy to the scene. The men put out in a boat,and near Rock Island found a hat and a kid gloves floating on the water. The had was of black straw, sailor pattern, and was trimmed with a black velvet bow. The glove was of brown kid and was for the right hand. They were evidentially the property of one of the unfortunate girls. Other information on the 3 women was that they attended St. Joseph's in Green Island.They were going to work that morning to Cluet and Peabody's. My great aunt Gertrude was engaged to be married to one of the men on the boat who survived the accident. I asked the Troy library to find Gertrude's obituary and they could not find one. I do not know whether or not her body or the bodies of the other women were found.This news item was published in national newspapers as far away as Texas. One last sad note,I discovered on a census document that Gertrude's mother (my great grandmother) had five children and the record showed that only two had survived:my grandfather and Gertrude. With the death of my great aunt she had lost 4 of her five children. ____________________________________________________________ Hotel pics, info and virtual tours.

That is a very sad story. I do not recall hearing this one before, although I grew up in Green Island and my grandparents and their friends frequently told us about these sorts of things that had happened in the past. I do recognize some of the names as being Green Island family names.

Could you give me more information on the families you remember? I have found one of the women's name in the 1880 census but it was an address in Troy not Green Island. I don't know who her father , mother or siblings were. I found Mary Ahearn who was close to my go aunt in age. I have a feeling they were not found. This really bothers me for some reason. They were well know in the community and my aunt was engaged to one of the male survivors. Thank you for your response. I think the word melancholy (although I never have used that word in my life) is appropriate here. I think this is the most interesting thing about genealogy for me. That the people who came before me lived lives of struggle and loss and sorrow but somehow survived because they had the hope that life would somehow get better. I am also fascinated by them and their sometimes inexplicable behavior. My grandmother kept changing her name (both first and last name) fortunately my mother did leave enough clues behind to trace her in various places. She was married twice which did not help matters. It also seemed to matter very little what name they went under or how it was spelled. You can tell they were covering up something but who knows what? It is better then reading a good mystery. My grandfather's family were listed as running a saloon at 138 George Street in Green Island and that seems to have lasted 2 generations. I wonder if the reasons for doing genealogy are similar?

Fascinating,yet tragic story. The information within the article about the weather,and boating in this area in those days fascinated me. Since my grandmother also worked for those shirt factories around the very same time, I was much taken with this article. Thanks for sharing.
