Wreck of the Ephraim Williams
text:
The Ephraim Williams was a sailing ship wrecked off the coast of Hatteras Island, North Carolina, during a late December storm, late in 1884.
The rescue of the barkentine's crew by Benjamin B. Dailey and his six oarsmen of the United States Lifesaving Service was considered particularly heroic, and the rescue is celebrated to the present day. The 491-ton vessel's homeport was Providence, Rhode Island.
She was returning there with a load of timber from Savannah, Georgia, when she became waterlogg
