  • The list of shipwrecks in 1894 includes ships sunk, foundered, grounded, or otherwise lost during 1894.(This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.) According to the American newspapers of 1894, the winter and spring storms of December 1893 to April 1894 proved to be one of the most disastrous for the United States, particularly the Cape Cod area, since 1860. The eastern seaboard of the continent had already faced a fierce hurricane season in 1893 when over 2,000 people died. (en)
