Up for sale a VERY RARE! "The Lost Ship Arctic" James C Luce Clipped Signature.
ES-4835 James C. Luce was born at Rochester, Mass., in 1806. He began his seafaring life at the age of 16 years, and was put in command of a ship before he was 21. From that time up to 1850 he was a very successful commander. In that year on account of the eminence he had attained as a skillful navigator and able Captain, he was invited to take command of the Arctic. In this position he never met with an accident until May, 1854, when, as the Arctic was passing the southern coast of Ireland, on her homeward voyage, she struck on the the Tuscar rock, but was soon got off. Of the nine vessels that he commanded before taking the Arctic, seven were lost after he left them. Capt. Luce was married twice. The first time, in 1833, to a Miss Leonard, of Massachusetts, who died in 1836, after having given birth to a son, Robert, now dead. In 1838 he married Miss Elizabeth Fearing, who survives him. The second wife was the mother of the child, Willie, who was lost in the Arctic disaster.
