Summary:
In July of 1889 the Cunard liner Catalonia collided with three-masted schooner Rebecca A. Tulane. Capt. Jame A. Champion with his wife and child and a black crew of three were aboard. Although no lives were lost, readers of The Day, which then sold for two cents a copy, in contrast to the 1991 price of 50 cents were reading about staunch little schooners that would soon vanish from the coastline, victims of new technology. Many would mourn their loss.
