Have to find the Marquette and Bessemer 2 on lake Erie now. I don't even live on that side of the world, but she's an interesting ship wreck, where ever it's lying.

I'm from Ludington where the ship set sail from and one of my relatives died working on that ship the day it sank I enjoyed learning about this ship and where it lays

I may be mistaken, but this seems not unlike the SS Washington, which met a similar fate not too far from this site, on the WI side. The surviving families of the crewmen got little to nothing in survivor benefits, after years of fighting the corporate owners. Also the captain got bonuses for each crossing, so he sailed even though the the weather was uncertain. When the rail cars broke loose, the ship was doomed.

Love the stories of the wrecks. Seems like at least 2 of these went down. The 18 & 15. First time I've seen a ship speared into the bottom like that.

Can't forget about Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, which I believe is the exact same design of Car Ferry as Pere Marquette 18 and 15. That ship went down a year earlier, in 1909.

@Flasher Trasher are you the lawyer for this news team? You sound like it. Maybe you should have done what I did. Google that station's broadcast to find out when it originally aired. (News flash, it was more than 2 decades after I saw the video I saw of the wreck). But then, if you had, you wouldn't have had an excuse to be uselessly argumentative.
