Downbound from Escanaba, she was pushed on a rocky reef (False Presque Isle) and wrecked, her keel being pushed up through her bottom by boulders. By the time the tug SWEEPSTAKES arrived to save her on the 21st, all that could be rescued was part of her outfit. She was later washed off into deeper water. *She was also described as inbound, light, for a cargo of limestone at Presque Isle. Owned by James Hearnes, Cleveland
