About the ship William Nelson
The US ship "William Nelson" was built in Somerset Mass. in the year
1850, and was financed by William Witlock Jr. of the City of New York.
The Wm Nelson, sailed its last from port of Antwerp on June 1st, 1865,
on the 26th of June, 1865 the ship caught fire, burned and sank with
426 German and Swiss emigrants. The Captain, Levi Smith and his crew
were the first to abandon the ship, leaving a mutitude of men woman
and children in a fiery misery and confusion. Peter J. Schaps-Birgden Ger.
was the Eldest of 7 children and traveling with family, nineteen in all,
was the families only known survivor. He emigrated to Albany Minnesota
and became proprietor of Albany Roller Mills. It is my understanding
that there is considerably more information recorded at the National
Archives of the illfated voyage, in the file of William H. Seward,
Secretary of State.
While looking for something else, I found a story much too long
to copy in the New York Times for Sunday, July 23, 1865.
The liner Lafayette was sailing from New York to Havre when she
found two boats from the American emigrant ship, William Nelson,
which was carrying several hundred emigrants from Antwerp to NY.
She had caught fire while being fumigated as there was fever on
board and all passengers had to take to the boats.
