                    Bound Escanaba to Cleveland fully loaded with iron
                 ore (about 900 tons) when she stranded in a storm. 
                 Thought to be recoverable, and with most of her cargo
                 recovered, steam pumps were sent on board the MAGNET
                 in hopes of raising her.  The efforts proved fruitless
                 and were abandoned in 1868.
