Wreck of the Ariosto (Legacy-Derived)

When: December 1899
Where: Hatteras, North Carolina (named locality; exact wreck site unverified)
Part of: Wreck of the steamship Ariosto off Hatteras kills 21 crew

The legacy record states that the British steamship Ariosto wrecked off Hatteras, North Carolina, in December 1899, drowning 21 crew members; no retrieved passage verifies this occurrence.

According to the legacy record, the incident occurred in the area known as the 'Graveyard of the Atlantic' due to numerous ship losses. The legacy record specifies December 24, 1899, as the date, though the source text only confirms the general context of ship losses off Cape Hatteras and does not name the Ariosto, a December 1899 date, or any casualty count. No rescue or salvage details are available in the provided passages.
