S.. SEA NYMPH
TO BE LAUNCHED

The North Carolina Shipbuilding L
company will launch it's 149th ship,
the S. S. Sea Nymph, Thursday |
afternoon at 5:45 o'clock under the
sponsorship of Mrs. George E. Via,
of Wilmington, wife of the chief of
the yards Time Study department.
Her attendants will be Mrs. G.
Guy Via, and Mrs. E. c. McClaud
Of Newport News, Va.
Like all CO craft being built
here, the S. S. Sea Nymph is
named for an American clipper
ship. The original Sea Nynph was
built at Fairhaven, Mass, by
Reuben Fiske and Co., for Edward
Mott Robinson of New Bedford.
Her model was quite up to the
standard of medium clippers turn
ed out by more prominent builders
and she proved to be fast sailer
and successful merchant ship. On
her first passage, however, she
narrowly escaped disaster. While
bound from New Bedford to New
Orleans, she developed a leak of
some 400 strokes per hour and it
was found than an inch and half
auger hole had been bored in her
bottom and lightly plugged by a
bung.
On her first voyage, the sea
nymph arrived at San Francisco
in 145 days from New York. The
following year, 1856, the run to
San Francisco was made in 113
days.
On May 4, 1861, when 100 days
from New York, for San Francis
CO, the Sea Nynph went ashore
il the fog, just north of Point
Reyes and about IS miles north
west of the Golden Gate entrance.
A life boat being capsized, COM
munication with the shore was
finally made by means of kite
landing a small line attached to
hawser. The crew were landed
with the loss of but one man. The
cargo was 1778 tons of general
merchandise valued at $250,0O0.
Vessel and cargo were sold May
9 to Mr.. Benjamin for $1,000 and
Capt. Edgar Wakeman, a promi-
nent shipmaster, superintendent the
wrecking of the ship, living on the
beach nearby for IS days. When
the ship finally went to pieces it
was flood tide and what cargo was
still aboard was washed ashore.
