Vessel History

History First enrollment issued at Detroit, MI, May 20, 1890. Caught on fire at the Cleveland breakwater pier on June 23, 1904; later repaired. Ran aground at Rock Island near Port Colborne, ON, on October 4, 1904; later repaired. Caught fire and was beached on east end of Kelleys Island, Lake Erie, OH, on August 8, 1911. Fire brought under control by sand dredges ALBERT Y. GOWAN and MARY H., with fire being confined to forward end. The next day the wind turned her around from a NNW position until she was heading south.

The hull was sold at a U.S. Marshal's sale; engine and boilers removed in 1914 by William Ellory of Detroit, MI.
