Scene of the Accident to the "Pacific" Steam-Ship, on Leaving New York, 1850. The United States mail-steamer Pacific, arrived in the Mersey on Thursday, the 10th September, at 20 minutes before 12 o'clock, having left New York at half-past ten o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the 29th...being a day after the time she was advertised to sail. The delay was caused by the Pacific, coming in contact with a large shed erected on the quay, when leaving New York; and the result was that the shed was carried away, and one man killed, and fourteen or fifteen severely injured. The Pacific sustained some slight damage to her paddles by the collision...this splendid vessel has performed the voyage in ten days and twenty hours..."This beats the greatest passage of the Asia - the quickest ever made by a Cunard steamer-by thirteen hours...". From "Illustrated London News", 1850
