James A. Garfield (ship)

James A. Garfield (ship)

The "James A. Garfield" was an American 3-masted bark which transported lumber and operated in and out of Apalachee Bay carrying lumber. On August 1 1899, the 2nd hurricane of the season struck St. George Island and the Apalachee Bay area causing massive damage to some 15 ships moored at Dog Island, Florida.

The "James A. Garfield" was one of these ships. The "Garfield" remained intact with cargo still on-board but was now beached and surrounded by other hulls of wrecks making it economically unfeasible to refloat the ship.
