<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2687991, member: 78244"]I just bought this illustrated newspaper because it has one of the best contemporary accounts of the sinking of the SS Central America, along with some fantastic illustrations. If you find an article about this wreck and see some egravings of the ship and the wreck, they more than likely came from this issue of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. There was so much information and drama about this disaster that they actually devoted three issues to it: October 3, October 10, and October 17, 1857. I have the Oct 17, and this one is the Oct 3. I am still looking for the Oct 10 issue.
