In 1838, the steamship Pulaski sank off the coast of North Carolina when her boiler exploded, but two of her passengers discovered survival skills and each other. Steamship boilers often exploded, fatally scalding passengers and crew, and furnishing maritime history with countless disaster stories. The sinking of the steamship Pulaski, which was advertised as the State of the Art Titanic of its time, marked as one of the first explosions of a coastal steamship, but with a romantic twist if a Brooklyn Eagle account of two survivors is more than a legend.
