                   Abandoned by her owners at Chicago she had layed at
                the dock near the Clark street bridge.  In 1905 the city
                hired tugs to haul her out into the lake and allow her to
                sink but when the tugs took her in tow and she promptly
                balked and settled to the bottom in the channel between
                the Clark and Dearborn street bridges where she blocked
                navigation through the south draws of both bridges. On June
                28, 1905 her hull was dynamited and broken up.
