In light of the recent Ships Lost ast Sea info... My problem is that I need to find info on a ship that was damaged and drifted helplessly for a short while....but never sunk. It was the HUDSON which sailed from England and ended up landing in the Port of New York on November 27th, 1869. There was a published story about my Gr-Grandfather on this ship and about it crashing into something on the coast of Newfoundland/Nova Scotia - taking on water and drifting helplessly - but then ultimately making it's way to NY. I found the passenger list - but can't seem to find any mention of the "troubles" the ship encountered. Any help would be appreciated! Jeff

Jeffrey...try searching the NY Times Archives for that info. You have the name of the ship and the date it arrived, so you can look at the newspapers around that date. I found my ancestor's ship there, which was damaged at sea. The Times had a few sentences about the damage sustained...not much else.
