In the whaling disaster of 1871, 32 American whaling ships – one of them registered in the Kingdom of Hawaii – were trapped in pack ice in the Chukchi Sea in a line about 60 miles (97 km) south of Point Franklin, Department of Alaska, and abandoned between 1 and 14 September. All 1,219 people aboard the ships were rescued by seven other whaling ships – Arctic, Chance, Daniel Webster, Europa, Lagoda, Midas, and Progress – that had not become trapped. One trapped vessel, Minerva was discovered intact in 1872 and returned to service, but the other ships were crushed in the ice, sank, wrecked on the coast, or were stripped of wood or burned by the local Inupiat people. Details of each wreck are below.
