• Steamship Colon's Shipwreck off El Salvador Coast The steamship Colon experienced a significant maritime incident when it struck Remedios Reef off the coast of El Salvador. Following the collision, the ship was beached at Acajutla, where all passengers were safely evacuated. Although the vessel was declared a total loss, no lives were lost. Captain William A. Irvine faced professional consequences, with his maritime license suspended for one year on August 12 due to findings of unskillfulness and negligence.
• William Hoar's Fatal Diving Accident in New Jersey Reservoir Professional diver William Hoar tragically lost his life during a dangerous underwater operation at the New Jersey City Reservoir in Boonton. While attempting to close an intake pipe, Hoar became trapped when powerful water suction caught his left leg between the pipe and a massive 5,000-pound closing mechanism. Despite extensive rescue efforts, he perished after an extraordinary 24-hour survival underwater at a depth of 70 feet, highlighting the extreme risks faced by professional divers in the early 20th century.

The maritime disaster claimed the lives of three crew members: Captain Henry Smith, Engineer Kopfer, and Helper William Justman. Two other crew members managed to survive by escaping on a life raft, underscoring the perilous nature of maritime work during the early 1900s.
