The Georgia Enterprise November 28, 1889

    The OLD DOMINION steamship Manhattan, which left New York for West Point, 
Va., last Tuesday afternoon, with thirty-five passengers, collided with the 
schooner Agnes Manning, from Baltimore for New York, and went to the bottom.
At least fifteen lives are supposed to have been lost. The first information
of the disaster was given in an Associated Press dispatch from New London, at
the company's office on Friday. The information received pointed to the fact
that probably over twenty people have been lost. The vessel's crew numbered
twenty-seven. The names of only a few of the crew are known to the Old
Dominion people. The Manhattan was valued at $150,000, and carried to
insurance.
