SS Pollockshields Shipwreck
History:
Built in 1890 in Hamburg and originally named the Herodot, this large German cargo steamer powered by a 281-horsepower triple-expansion engine was sold in 1904 to the Hamburg America Line and renamed the Graecia. When World War I broke out, the ship was outfitted as a German naval supply vessel and sailed from New York to the Azores in August 1914. The following October, the vessel was captured by the H.M.S. Argonaut. The British Government renamed her the Pollockshields, for use as a munitions carrier.
On August 22, 1915, with a crew of 37 and a cargo of World War I provisions and 350 tons of live ammunition, including shells and gunpowder, the Pollockshields left Cardiff, Wales. In early September, the steamer encountered a ‘white squall’ - with dense fog and hurricane-force winds. When the fog lifted on September 7, 1915, the crew saw the color of the water and knew the ship was in trouble. Ten minutes later, she struck a reef near Elbow Beach. Captain Ernest Boothe sent out a distress signal, waking guests at the South Shore Hotel (now called the Elbow Beach Hotel) and attracting people from all over the island. Rescuers made five trips in a whaleboat through the heavy surf to take the crew ashore. All crew members were rescued, but Captain Boothe was swept overboard and drowned.
