The Dreadnought, 1S53 Perhaps the most famous of all the Liverpool Packet ships in the early 50s. Commanded by Capt. Samuel Samuels, still remembered by many New Yorkers as one of the most celebrated deep sea skippers sailing from this port. She was originally a Red Cross Packet Liner and later in the California trade. Few ships ever enjoyed such popularity. On February 4th, 18513, she logged 313 miles on a single days run on a famous voyage from Liverpool to New York, completed in 13 days 8 hours. She was finallv lost among the rugged cliffs and roaring breakers of Cape Horn. Her crew was rescued. She was a strikingly handsome ship and for years was the pride of the port. She was owned by Governor E. D. Morgan, Francis B. Cutting, Daniel Ogden and others. The majority of the New York fortunes prior to the Civil War grew out of shipping.
