 * "an iron hulled, American" why not "American iron-hulled..."?
 * "The first iron hulled" hyphenate again.
 * "Merchant was built in" could say "she was built in" as it's unambiguous from the previous sentence.
 * "manufactured in Black Rock, New York and" comma after NY.
 * "winter of 1872-1873" en-dash, and avoid using seasons as their timings differ depending on where you are in the world.
 * "a.k.a. the "Anchor Line"" also known as
 * "1875 while" comma after year.
 * "bushels corn" of?
 * "Racine, Wisconsin due" comma after Wisconsin.

 * "bushels corn" of?
 * "off Racine, Wisconsin at around" comma after Wisconsin.
 * "second mate" link.
 * "sank onto the reef in about fifteen minutes" any word on casualties?
 * "the summer of 1877" season.
 * "badly broken up and" why "badly"?
