After departing Albany en route for Manhattan, in the thick of a snowstorm on the evening of April 7, 1845, the steamboat "Swallow" crashed onto the rocks near the towns of Athens, Hudson, and Lunenburg, New York. With rescue efforts from the locals, as well as the steamboats Rochester and Express, the Swallow quickly foundered with the loss of either 15 or 23 souls.
