Per the book A Weekend in September:
"At this hour a thirty-foot sailboat carrying E. F. Gerloff & nineteen others capsized. When Gerloff's family & several neighbors had realized that his house was about to fall, they had taken to the boat as a last resort. After the boat overturned, Gerloff never again saw his wife & their two children, his mother, two brothers, & two sisters-in-law. He was trapped in the cabin, with just enough air space between the water & the cabin deck above him to breathe. He was to stay there twenty-four hours."
