SHIPWRECK! The Larchmont Remembered

The Suffering, Depravity and Wonder of Rhode Island’s Most Horrific Sea Disaster

Presented by Daniel Harrington, Providence Journal Columnist

Larchmont Shipwreck Disaster

On a bitterly cold night in February, 1907, the paddle-wheel passenger steamship Larchmont, headed from Providence to New York, collided with the coal-laden schooner Harry P. Knowlton off the shores of Watch HIll, Rhode Island. More than 143 of the passengers perished, most from below-zero temperatures and icy waters; only 19 survived. It was the worst maritime disaster in Rhode Island history. Learn the facts behind this historic disaster, experience the unspeakable horror, and witness the unrivaled heroism of rescuers with Providence Journal Columnist Daniel Harrington as he brings you eyewitness accounts, never-before-seen photographs, and a story that will leave you in tears.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Fall River Public Library.

Saturday, September 14 -- 9:10 a.m. - 12:10 p.m.
