                    WILLIAM NOTTINGHAM was one of the lucky ones to
                  survive the great storm of 1913. Driven on the rocks
                  between Sand and Parisian Islands, Lake Superior, but
                  was released by the wrecking tug FAVORITE. Three men were
                  lost in attempt to make shore in a yawl. Badly damaged,
                  but still afloat, she was taken to Toledo for repairs.
                  Her cargo of grain was a total loss.

                    Sold for scrap in 1946.
