All But One
Thomas William Nye of New Bedford, our famed whaling city, was the only person out of 223 aboard the ship John Rutledge who survived when she hit an iceberg in the Atlantic and sank.
The Rutledge left Liverpool on February 16, 1856, with a crew of twenty-four men and a passenger list of 199. Three days later she hit the iceberg. The steamship Germania picked Nye up on February 28th, twelve days after the collision.
