Benjamin C. Cromwell was at her moorings, either preparing to take a cargo of lumber and naval stores aboard, or already having done so on August 1, 1899, when the 2nd hurricane of the season struck St. George Island and the Apalachee Bay area of Florida. Some 15 ships moored at Dog Island, Florida, including Benjamin C. Cromwell were beached and deemed unsalvageable.[2]
