The vessel caught fire and sank in eighteen minutes. Only 723 passengers and crew survived. Killed were 1,198 passengers and crew, including 128 Americans. Among them was Victor E. Shields, a prominent Cincinnati liquor dealer, and his wife Retta.
Height is about 3-1/4 inches, about 2 inches across at the shoulder, 1-1/2 inches across the base.
