On February 12th, 1907 a steamship, the SS Larchmont, collided with a schooner, the Harry Knowlton, off the coast of Block Island in frigid conditions. You will learn about the harrowing stories of survival, heroic rescue efforts, and fascinating investigation into the disaster, which killed more than one hundred passengers and crew members.
