On this day in 1908 at about 11:30 a.m. the 129.6 ft. steamer Governor Safford went down during rough weather four miles from Bogue Inlet. The wooden hulled side-wheel ship was built in 1884 at Camden, New Jersey and at the time was under tow by the steamer Katahdin. The line connecting the Safford to the Katahdin broke free the night before leaving the towed vessel to fend for itself. By the next morning there was 3 feet of water in the engine room and the pumps could not keep up with the leaks, it was decided the ship could not be saved. All ten crewmembers were able to row a life boat safely to the Katahdin which carried the rescued men to Baltimore, Maryland. The Governor Safford sank in about 40 feet of water.
