The year 1929 was a particularly harsh one on Great Lakes shipping between September 9th and October 31st. One hundred lives were lost on four separate sinkings.
SEPTEMBER 9th-- The gravel freighter Andaste sank with 25 deaths.
OCTOBER 22nd-- The car ferry Milwaukee sank with a loss of 52.
OCTOBER 31st-- The freighter Senator sank with loss of 7.
OCTOBER 31st-- Steamer Wisconsin sank with loss of 16.
You hardly ever hear of major ships sinking in the Great Lakes anymore.
Again, Bad Time to Be Afloat. --DaCoot
