About Frances Luisa Mixter

Ville du Havre was a French iron steamship that operated round trips between the northern coast of France and New York City. Launched in November 1865 under her original name of Napoléon III, she was converted from a paddle steamer to single propeller propulsion in 1871 and, in recognition of the recent defeat of her imperial namesake, the Emperor Napoleon III, was renamed Ville du Havre.[1]

In the early hours of 22 November 1873, Ville du Havre collided with the Scottish three-masted iron clipper, Loch Earn and sank in 12 minutes with the loss of 226 lives.[2] Only 61 passengers and 26 crew members survived, rescued by Loch Earn and subsequently, an American vessel, the Tremountain
Charles and Frances were aboard the ill-fated iron clipper S.S.Ville Du Havre out of New York that collided with a Scottish clipper the morning of 22 November 1873.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Dec 8 2021, 8:57:03 UTC
