Late January 1903, the bark Nineveh was traveling from New York to Mayport when she began to leak outside of Delaware. They rectified the leak and continued their trip, which brought them off Cape Fear where the 442-ton ship sunk. Captain Gilbert and his men spent 52 hours in a small boat before they were saved and safely landed. According to "The Wilmington Morning Star" out of North Carolina, the captain refused to give information on what had occurred. The ship sunk on January 24.
