Shipwreck Information
Stranded and burned on Michipicoten Island, Lake Superior, on November 14, 1906, on trip from Fort William, Ontario, for Port Stanley, Ontario, with cargo of grain. The wreck lies in Shafer Bay of Michipicoten Island of Lake Superior. The bottom of the wreck lies in 25’ to 30’ of water with the engine reaching up as shallow as 5 ft. What is unique in the site is the configuration of the twin screw engines. Note the cylinders are two different sizes which may indicate they were configured in a double expansion mode. This may be the only example of two separate engines configured in a double expansion mode in the Great Lakes.
