UPD: а, нет. Оказывается, 1857й.
The Panic of 1857 Began
Adding to the troubles of the banks, the sailing ship full of gold lost its battle with the hurricane and sank to the bottom of the ocean. With their failed investments, it was impossible for the banks to gather all the gold their customers demanded.
On August 24, 1857, the New York branch of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company failed. Soon all across the nation, banks began to collapse. The Panic of 1857 led to a severe economic depression in the United States that lasted three years. Many people lost their jobs. Can you think of another time in American history when there was another financial panic?

Помните "Дороги, которые мы выбираем" О'Генри? "Боливар не вынесет двоих".
Есть целый фильм с таким названием (Great Train Robbery), снятый в 1903м. Так вот, он у меня есть :)
Вот отрывок из фильма - 4.4Мб.
А вот еще один - 34.4Мб.
