Notes
The sand sucker and carrier, Fort Meigs, of Toledo, O., is listed in the Ship Master's Assoc. Directory, 1914, as 138 gross tons; 116 x 32 x 6; built 1901. While sucking sand near Put-in-Bay, Lake Erie, the machinery suddenly clogged. It was discovered that a 10-pounder fired in the Battle of Lake Erie, had been sucked up with the sand. The ball was given to Charles S.Neff, a friend of the captain, for Harold H. Neff.
