Farallon Steamship Disaster

The |Farallon Steamship Disaster was the disaster of a wooden steamship that hit Black Reef in the Cook Inlet of the Farallon Islands in January 1910 and sank in Alaska. All on board evacuated to a near-by island and had to survive for a month in a mid-winter climate before they were rescued. Steve K. Lloyd wrote a book on the story.
