Immigrant 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 Emigration-Ships Mailing List by Ted Finch -
