Specs : 158x25x18, 560 t.

Date of loss : 1887, Oct 25

Place of loss : 6 mi NE of Two Rivers Point

Lake : Michigan

Type of loss : storm

Loss of life : 36-41 with only one survivor

Carrying : gen freight

Detail : She foundered in a gale. The sole survivor was picked up on a small raft 2 days later. Most casualties died of exposure. Bound Mackinac Isl. & upper L. Mich ports for Chicago. Most contemporary reports of the number of casualties say about 50 were lost, but later reports revised the number downward.

There were accusations at the time that she was overloaded, causing her cargo doors to be left open. These were confirmed in 1969 when the vessel was found.

When she came out, marine men said she was unstable, because of her narrow beam and high upperworks.
