WAS HOODOOED
The Merrimac Has Been a
‘‘Jonah" From The First.
MANY UNLUCKY TRIPS '
Made by “Hobson’s Cork” Be
fore he Torpedoed Her.
The loss of the collier Merri
mac in the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba June 2 recalls the sin
gular history of the vessel. In
May, 1896, she lay at the Pin
ner’s Point dock of the Southern
Railway Company, in Norfolk
Harbor, loading for an English
port. During her stay many
stories were told by the sailors
illustrative of her general bad
luck,
She was built at Newcastle
on-Tyne, England, in 1884, for
a Norwegian line and named
Solveig. Her first trip was from,
Amsterdam to New York.
It is related that, although she
was built to show speed and sea
worthiness, she ran out of water
before she reached the American
port. On another trip she secur
ed a cargo of Hour and wheat
from American ports to Liver
pool and Gljiscow. When she
reached the other side the cargo'
was found to have been damaged
so on the trip that the con
signees refused to receive it.
The sailers aboard of her as
serted that she was “hoodooed”
and she was many times com
pelled to leave port insufficiently
in itined. At another time a car-1
go of bulk wheat heated on th?
outward voyage and it is stated
that after this occurrence the
original owners disposed of her.
Another ill-fated voyage was
I that when she loaded with lum
bar, cotton and pig iron at Pin
ner’s Point in 1896. The long
shoremen finished loading her
on Friday evening, but through
some delay to the ship’s papers
I she did not clear the docks until
Saturday morning. She ran
I across to Newport News to take
on coal for the voyage. While
lying at the coal pier Dock No.
4of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad Company, took dre.
I’he lire extended to the grain
elevator and caught the ship
ping lying at the pier. Os cours*
: the ill-fated Solveig could no'
escape. A British ship had been
1 made fast'to her, and lying out
side, prevented the use of heu
engines in moving her.
The tug Hustler, ran in while
i the rigging of the ship was in
Hames, made fast to the Solveig
and pulled her to midstream
i Iler cargo was badly damaged
as well as the vessel. All her
masts were burned with any of
the other woodwork that the
i Hames could well reach.
) She was then towed up to a
point between the Atlantic coast
line dock and Portsmouth,where
j she lay for a long time, her
i rusty iron sides and blackened
■ woodwork showing to all who
, passed in and out of Norfolk
Harbor.
The Solveig lay in the harbor
dismantled until sold at masters
sale, when she was purchased
by T. F. Jltgan & Son, of New
. York, and by them sold to the
government last April.
Her cost to the government
j was $342,000, which sum, ex-
I perts assert, was at least .i 24 \-
000 more than she was worth.
