During 1906 forty-seven vessels with. a carrying capacity of 58,165 gross tons: and valued at $976,000.00 were total losses on the great lakes. The monetary. loss was low in comparison with former years, owing to the fact that the wrecked vessels were nearly all small. The most valuable was the Grecian which found- ered in Lake Huron' She was the only steel vessel of American build that was lost. The year's disasters opened with the burning of the passenger steamer At- lanta in Lake Michigan very early in the season, Canadian owners suffered heav- ily, losing eight steamers, of which the most valuable was the- Monarch which went to pieces off Isle Royale. The fa- 'mous old steamer Gordon Campbell also passed out of existence by grounding on «Michipicoten Island, and then taking fire. Her identity was lost to many under the name of Strathmore. Twenty-two of the vessels lost were steamers and twenty- five were schooners. -Fire claimed nine of the wrecks, foundering fifteen, strand- ing seventeen and collisions six. Prob- ably there should be added to the list the steamer H. B. Tuttle and the barge City of Toledo, both of which were sunk. However, H. W. Baker, the Detroit wrecker, has raised both of them, but whether they will be worth restoring to commission remains to be seen. Prob- ably there should be taken from the list the Checotah, which foundered in Lake .Huron. This schooner has been raised 'and purchased by the Edward Gillen Dock & Construction C6. The accom- panying table gives the names of the vessels: totally destroyed, with their capacities and value, the cause of the accident and the place. LAKE WRECKS, 1906. Jan. 15--Str.
