The Steamship Pulaski was an American steam packet that exploded on June 14, 1838, 40 miles off the coast of North Carolina. The explosion occurred around 11 PM on the night of June 14,1838, while the ship was traveling from Charleston, South Carolina to Baltimore, Maryland. The explosion caused the ship to break in two and sink within an hour, killing 128 people and saving about 66.

Survivor Rebecca Lamar published an account of the disaster in 1854, titled, "The Loss of the Steamer Pulaski."
