Steamship bound for Glasgow from New York strikes an iceberg off of Newfoundland

The 2200 ton, 300 foot Inman Line steamship Edinburgh out of New York on a voyage to Glasgow struck an iceberg in thick fog 180 miles east of St. Johns, Newfoundland, at 11:20 in the morning.  Two bow compartments filled with water almost immediately and boats were prepared.  But the crew and the male passengers worked the pumps for almost thirty hours without a break to keep the vessel afloat and she reached St Johns harbor the next evening.
