Life Preserver, c. 1878

Life preserver from the City of Columbus, which crashed on the underwater rocks of Devil’s Bridge in January 1884 when a gash was torn in the hull and seawater rushed into the steamer. Fred Poole, assistant keeper of the Gay Head Light, Martha’s Vineyard, spotted a light from the wreck and summoned volunteer lifesavers, experienced Wampanoag boatmen. Of the 132 passengers and crew, only 29 could be saved by rescuers.
