| Detail:
She capsized and sank in the "Big Storm" of 1913. She probably encountered the lost REGINA(qv) in the maelstrom, as somecrewmen of the two vessels were found wear the lifejackets of the other. She floated upside-down near the shipping lane for several days and created a sensation as a "mystery ship" until divers went down and read her name off the side. Master: Capt. W. A. Black(d). Owned by Mahinung Steamship Company, Cleveland.Sister of ISAAC M. SCOTT(qv), also lost with all hands the same day, farther up the lake.Image from HCGL |
