City of New York (1885 ship)

City of New York was a steam barquentine which was Richard E. Byrd's flagship on his 1928–30 exploration of Antarctica. There were allegations that the ship failed to come to the aid of the Titanic in 1912. Her name was changed several times; originally named Samson (1885–1914), she was renamed the Jacobsen (1915–1919), and then the Belsund (1919–1926), and back to Samson (1926–1928), before being finally dubbed the City of New York in 1928.
