1. "The side-wheeler S.S. Arctic sinks September 27 off Cape Race, Newfoundland, after colliding with the 250-ton French iron propeller ship S.S. Vesta. A sister-ship to the S.S. Pacific that went into service in 1852, the 3,000-ton S.S. Arctic has been the largest and most splendid of the Collins Line steamships, her casualties include 92 of her 153 officers and men, and all her women and children are lost including the wife, the only daughter, and the youngest son of E. K. Collins." -- SS Arctic, Wikipedia
