Note: L'Amérique was an unlucky ship. She had been built in 1864 at St. Nazaire as 'Imperatrice Eugenie'. The vessel had been employed for service to Mexico in the late 1860s. Once Emperor Nappleon III abdicated, the ship was renamed 'Atlantique' in 1870. The years later, she was reworked from a sidewheel paddle steamer to a screw propeller. Again she was renamed as 'Amérique' and operated on the Le Havre - New York route of the French LIne. In 14 April 1874, Amerique was abandoned by crew and passengers in full storm at approximately 100 miles of Brest. The pumps had been insufficient to evacuate the water which rushed into the ship resulting in 6 - 8 feet water in the machine room and coal bunkers. The passengers and the crew were rescued by three other ships in short time. Finally, the vessel was located, still afloat, by the English steamers 'Spray' and 'Auburn', towed until Plymouth on 18 April, then returned after repair to Le Havre on 2 May by her own means. The contemporary journal news do not give any information about the mail bags on the 'Amérique', however one has to assume that the mail was still on the vessel when it was towed in to Plymouth.
