Hi fiftyfive
The New York Times article of August 9, 1901 states that the SS Kinkora was a coastal vessel sailing between Waterford and Limerick, rather than sailing to Liverpool as you stated. Still that doesn't mean that it was not your gg grandfather Carl Freidrich Sacht who was aboard the vessel when it went down, as you assume might be the case.
Sorry. That New York Times article appears to be incorrect.... a House of Lords enquiry available on Google Books does say the Kincora was sailing between Limerick and Liverpool. Unfortunately this does not seem to mention crewman Sacht.

I wish you luck in your further enquiries.
All the best
