At one time CORALIA was commanded by Captain Massman, father of the famous marine photographer Emory Massman. Emory is now living in Florida. He has told me a wonderful story of how Capt. Massman extinguished a fire onboard CORALIA. She was carrying a load of Cryslers and they began to burn in the cargo hold while she was crossing Lake Erie on the way to Buffalo. He ran in behind Long Point to anchor and the crew ran steam lines to the vents from the cargo hold. They managed to put out the fire with steam from their boilers. The cause of the fire was traced to a switch for the glove box light. The entire load of autos were written off as a total loss.
