Ship Information
(is this the correct ship?)
SOUTH CAROLINA
The "South Carolina" was a 1301 ton wooden screw steamer built in
1851 by Jabez Williams of New York for the Atlantic Steam
Navigation Co. Her dimensions were 202.5ft x 38ft. and she had a
clipper stem, one funnel and three masts, service speed 9 knots.
She sailed from Charleston SC for Liverpool but went aground on
the Charlestown Bar and had to put in to New York for repairs to
her propeller. She eventually sailed for Liverpool and returned to
NY on 23.11.1852 with 72 passengers. Her engines were removed in
1853 and she spent the rest of her life as a sailing vessel. Very
little seems to be known of her after this date but in 1874 she
was owned by J. Alexander of Liverpool. [Posted to the
