                   Upbound, light, when a fire started in her coal bunker.
                Crew was picked up by the Tawas Coast Guard after
                abandoning her. Burned to the water line.

                   Was trapped in the ice of Saginaw Bay, near Charity
                Island, for over a month (Dec 6 1926 - Jan 19, 1927). Had
                loaded 400,000 feet of lumber at Sarnia for a Saginaw
                company but had to burn 75,000 feet of it to keep her
                boilers going while trapped.

                   Anything of value, including brass portholes and
                whistles, were stripped from the wreck by divers in the
                early 1960's.
