                   Upbound from Sandusky with soft coal when she sailed
                right into the teeth of the monter gale of 1913. The storm
                was so savage that no one knew where the McGEAN had met her
                end until 1985 when diver and shipwreck hunter Dave Trotter
                found her lying upside down under 175 feet of Lake Huron
                off Port Hope.
