Three ships were reported to have run afoul during the storm. The Danish motorship "Leise Maersk" was carried over and grounded nearly 4 miles away near Upper Matecumbe Key, although there was no loss of life. The engine room was flooded and the ship was disabled. The American tanker "Pueblo" lost control near around 2 pm on September 2 and was pushed around the storm's center, ending up in Molasses Reef nearly eight hours later. The passenger steamship "Dixie" ran aground on French Reef. She was re-floated and towed to New York on September 19. No fatalities resulted from the incident.
