SHIPS THAT NEVER DIE (#36) ATLANTIC -- On August 20, 1852 occurred one of the major disas- ters in the history of the Great Lakes. On that miles off Long Point on Lake Erie's north shore, there was a collision between the sidewheeler ATLANTIC, under charter to the Michigan Central Ry. and the propellor OGDENSBURG, an early unit of the Northern Transportation Co. Since the OGDENSBURG had reversed her engines before the crash, it was thought at first that no sdrious damage had been done, and both vessels continued on in the darkness. Suddenly the ATLANTIC began to sink and the process of abandoning ship was undertaken. Unfortunate- ly many of the passengers were Norwegian immigrants unable to understand English, who became terror stricken and started leaping overboard despite all efforts to restrain them. The crew of the OGDENSBURG, by that time a mile of! heard the shrieks of terror and brought their ship back in time to rescue 250 of the ATLANTIC'S passengers. But, more than 300, many of whom were Nor- wegians,were drowned. The ATLANTIC carried a fortune in money to the bottom of the lake with her. Salvage efforts later on were partially successful in recovery of this treasure. The ATLANTIC had been built at Newport, now Mar% City, in 1849 for Capt E.B.Ward, and measured 267 x 33 x 13.4, with a gross\ tonnage of 1155. She was very fast, and once steamed from Yetroit to Buffalo in 164 hours, a record which stood for half a century. Neil F.Morrison.
