On July 5th, 1904, the New York Times wrote: “In the number of its victims, the terrible wreck of the Danish steamer Norge off the coast of the stormy Hebrides comes near to that of the General Slocum in the placid waters of the East River. No disaster so extensive has happened on the high seas for many years, to remind men that there remains perils of the deep which human science has not yet succeeded in completely dispelling.”
