SS Pacific (1851)
SS ''Pacific'' was an 876-ton〔 sidewheel steamer built in 1851 most notable for its sinking in 1875 as a result of a collision southwest of Cape Flattery, Washington.〔Ebbesmeyer, C.C. & Haglund, W.D. (2002): Floating remains on Pacific Northwest waters. – In: Haglund, W.D. & Sorg, M.H. (eds): ''Advances in forensic taphonomy method, theory and archeological perspectives'' pp.: 219-240, Boca Raton, CRC Press.〕 The ''Pacific'' had an estimated 275 passengers and crew aboard when it sank. Only two survived. Among the casualties were several notable figures, including the vessel's captain at the time of the disaster, Jefferson Davis Howell (1846–1875), the brother-in-law of ex-Confederate President Jefferson Davis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The SS Pacific founders off Cape Flattery with a loss of 275 lives on November 4, 1875 )〕
==History==
Originally in service on passenger runs between Panama and San Francisco, the ''Pacific'' was among the many vessels who ferried miners from California to the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in 1858. She was damaged from a grounding in the 1860s and was repaired but was retired from service. The onset of the Cassiar Gold Rush in far northern British Columbia saw her returned to service in the period 1872 to 1875, by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, on a regular run from San Francisco to and from Victoria, British Columbia and the American cities of Puget Sound.
