FOUNDERED IN LAKE HURON
[Welland Tribune, 10 October 1897]
Port Huron, Oct.8-The steamer E.B. Hale foundered in Lake Huron yesterday afternoon. Her crew, who were all picked up by the steamer Nebraska, landed here this morning. The Hale was bound from Lorain, Ohio, to Milwaukee, with steel billets. Half-way across Saginaw Bay she encountered a southwest gale. The breaking of a steel pipe left the vessel helpless in the trough of the sea. Finally she filled and sank. The Nebraska attempted to tow the helpless boat, but the tow lines parted. The Hale was owned by M.A. Bradley of Cleveland, was valued at $30,000 and was uninsured.
