Description

The Steamship City of Glasgow disappeared "without a trace " in March 1854 with 480 souls aboard. No bodies were ever recovered, and no wreckage was ever found. The ship simply vanished.

 

Left behind were family members pacing a Philadelphia wharf expecting her to arrive "any day". Newspapers from three continents excused her late arrival because of weather or mechanical breakdowns. 

 

The S.S. City of Glasgow remains one of the great mysteries of the 19th century. Until now.

 

Let Glasgow Flourish is a biography of The S.S. City of Glasgow's short life and postulates where and how she disappeared in the North Atlantic. Using accounts of her previous voyages to estimate her daily location and cross-referencing to sea and weather conditions, I believe her demise and approximate location have been determined. 

Included are many personal stories of the men and women who sailed with her starting from her maiden voyage in 1850 until her demise. Let Glasgow Flourish recounts the glory of her days up to her tragic disappearance. Many maps and images are included to provide a fulsome context of this great steamship lost to history "without a trace".
