Men On The Noonday Saw Hope
The men inside the Noonday must’ve felt scared once they confirmed that their ship was sinking. Some might’ve thought that they would die that day, but any anxious thought went away after they saw that the San Francisco harbor wasn’t too far.
Noonday reportedly collided with a rock about eight miles out. Captain Hastings, along with his crew, brought a few personal things with them, but they failed to find a way to save all the valuable cargo that was on the ship. In a disaster like that, you can’t prioritize material things over your life.
