SS La Bourgogne, French passenger liner in Le Havre, France
The SS La Bourgogne stretched 150 meters long and operated regular transatlantic routes between Le Havre and New York for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique.
Constructed in 1885 by Société Nouvelles de Forges et Chantiers de Méditerranée, the vessel sank in 1898 following a collision with Cromartyshire near Sable Island.
The maritime disaster revealed societal differences as reports indicated crew members prevented passengers from reaching lifeboats during the evacuation process.
The vessel provided transportation for 725 passengers across the Atlantic Ocean and established new speed records for westbound crossings after its launch.
From the 200 female passengers aboard during the final voyage, only one woman survived, while no children made it through the maritime catastrophe.
