Description: Menemon
Sanford was a coastal paddle steamer, launched in 1854 and originally
running between Bangor, Maine and Boston. She might be considered a
"hard luck" boat, having run ashore at least twice before her final
loss. In December 1862, while carrying a regiment of New York infantry,
the Sanford struck hard on Carysfort Reef near Key Largo, and became a
total loss. All the crew and the soldiers were safely evacuated,
although the ship's pilot was placed under arrest by the colonel of the
regiment, who deemed the accident to be "so
palpably the result of the most criminal negligence, if not design!"
