Abstract:

The German steamship BREWSTER, bound for New York from Jamaica in 1909, landed in the middle of the Diamond Shoals. One of the largest ships to run aground with a crew of 33 men, BREWSTER was discovered by three lifesaving crews out of Cape Hatteras and Creeds Hill. The entire crew was saved and 11 men were awarded medals of honor for their part in the rescue.
