It was the final days of the 1908 Great Lakes navigation season and a crowd of six freighters departed the Soo and headed out onto Lake Superior, one of those would be listed as overdue... forever.
It was a fast moving monster storm that centered on Lake Superior and as was always the case in the early 1900s the vessel captains ignored the storm signals hoisted by the weather service and sailed their vessels right out into the teeth of the storm. Although they had all departed the Soo locks closely together, they were very quickly swallowed by the blizzard on open Lake Superior. When the blizzard stopped, the winds calmed and the waves settled down, one of those vessels was missing. In this video you'll get the whole story.
