Sinking

On 13 September 1888, the ship was transporting from 260 passengers and 69 crew from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Genoa, Italy, via Las Palmas, Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. The ship was also carrying 700 tonnes of cargo. The ship was docked in the bay and the passengers were disembarking, while preparations were made for anchoring in order to load coal in the bay at Las Palmas. While this was being carried out, the French steamer La France collided with the bow of the Sud America I. The Sud America I sank almost instantly in 49 feet (15 m) of water, leaving only the tops of her four masts visible, 2,000 feet (610 m) from the beach. Seventy nine of the 329 passengers and crew died in the disaster.[1]
