Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Description via NOAA: "The Henry B. Smith was a steel freighter built in 1906 by the American Ship Building Company of Lorain, Ohio. The ship was 525 feet in length and 6,631 tons. The Smith arrived at Marquette on November 6th to take on iron ore but cold weather caused the ore to freeze inside the hopper cars which resulted in a loading delay. On November 9ththe Smith backed away from the dock and witnesses on shore watched the deckhands frantically trying to close the Smith’s hatches. After about 20 minutes, the full force of the gale hit the Smith as huge waves crashed over its deck. Instead of turning to starboard on the usual course for Sault Ste. Marie, the Smith headed north into Lake Superior and into oblivion. Captain James L. Owen and 25 of his crew never returned home. The shipwreck was finally located in May 2013 in 535 feet of water off Marquette." |
