• On 20 March 1873 the
  Atlantic departed on her
  19th voyage from Liverpool
  with 952 people on board, of
  whom 835 were passengers.
  En route, the crew decided
  to make port at Halifax,
  Nova Scotia to replenish coal
  for the boilers.

During the approach to Halifax on the evening of March 31
the captain and 3rd officer were on the bridge until
midnight, while the Atlantic made her way through a storm,
proceeding at 12 knots (22 km/h) for the entrance of Halifax
harbour, experiencing intermittent visibility and heavy seas.
Unbeknownst to the crew or passengers, the Atlantic was
approximately 121⁄2 miles (20 km) off-course to the west of
Halifax Harbour. Officers failed to take soundings, post a
masthead lookout, reduce speed or wake the captain as
they approached the unfamiliar coast. They somehow did
not spot the Sambro Lighthouse, the large landfall
lighthouse which warns mariners of the rocky shoals to the
west of the harbour entrance.

At 2:00 a.m. local time on 1 April 1873, the
Atlantic struck an underwater rock off Marr's
Head, Meagher's Island (now Mars Head, Mars
Island), Nova Scotia.

• The ship's manifest indicates that of the 952
  aboard, 156 were women and 189 were children
  on board (including two who had been born during
  the voyage). All women and all children perished
  except for one twelve-year-old boy, John Hindley.
• The Canadian government inquiry concluded with
  the statement, "the conduct of Captain Williams in
  the management of his ship during the twelve or
  fourteen hours preceding the disaster, was so
  gravely at variance with what ought to have been
  the conduct of a man placed in his responsible
  position".

• Today, most of the ship lies heavily fragmented
  under 40 to 60 feet of water. Artifacts recovered
  from several salvage operations are on display at
  the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax,
  Nova Scotia and also at the SS Atlantic Heritage
  Park and Interpretation Center, in Terence Bay,
  Nova Scotia. A monument to the wreck is located
  at the mass grave near the interpretation centre in
  the Terence Bay Anglican Cemetery, while a
  smaller monument marks a second mass grave at
  the Catholic cemetery.
