Buried: The Blizzard of '78

The Peter Stuyvesant, a retired river cruise ship that was part of Anthony's Pier 4 restaurant, blew off its steel-and-concrete cradle, which had been hammered into bedrock, according to a Boston Globe report from the time. It sank in the harbor. Snowfall in the city reached 26.7 inches over two days, and winds were hurricane-force.
