CITY OF VERA CRUZ
Titusville
The City Of Vera Cruz was built by John English, Greenport, Long
Island, NY. She had a composite hull: wood planked and iron framed.
She was 286 feet long, had a 37 foot beam and was powered by a
single steam engine. On August 28, 1880, while en route from New
York to Havana, she was caught in a heavy squall. Around 3:00 PM the
Captain and a few officers of the ship were washed overboard. By
5:00 PM the vessel had gone down off Mosquito Inlet with the loss of
26 passengers and 42 crew members. The only officer saved was
Charles Smith who was the second assistant engineer. Today, the
scattered wreck sits in 80 feet of water 25 miles off Port
Canaveral.
