- Where
- New York Harbor
SS Germanic arrived in New York on February 11, 1899, with decks and rigging laden with ice and snow, causing a list to starboard.
The ship sailed through a blizzard from Liverpool, resulting in significant ice accumulation on her upper decks and rigging. This weight caused a list to starboard, requiring the crew to chip away enough ice to allow the ship to dock and passengers to disembark.
