Summary
"On December 22, 1853, the San Francisco left New York, chartered by the U.S. Government to transport the Third Artillery. Two days out, the ship ran into one of the great hurricanes of maritime history. A few days later, cholera broke out. After two weeks, survivors were rescued by three ships but barely made it back"-- Provided by publisher.
