MORE GREAT LAKE MEMORIES We have no details of the inci­ dent but AUSTRALIA certainly has had a good bang on her bow. Here we see the wounded barge along­ side her towing steamer, Corri­ gan's powerful ITALIA. Anyone know anything about this? All photos this page are from the collection of Ralph Roberts, to whom we are most grateful for their use. This is a view of AUSTRALIA, our March Ship of the Month, under construction at South Chicago early in 1897. Here we see AUSTRALIA, late in her time as a barge, with only two masts. Apparently a Young photo at the Soo, it is remarkably similar to the 1906 view of AMAZON we showed in the March issue. This is AUSTRALIA as a steamer, beached on the Ca­ nadian shore of the St. Clair River after her June 13, 1907, collision with the Lehigh Valley package freighter BETHLEHEM.
