SHIPS THAT NEVER DIE (#93) MONTAUK (US 92294) Tron Sidewheel pas- senger steamer, 175 x 31, 570 g.t., built by Harlan & Hollingsworth at Wilmington, Del.,in 1891 for Montauk Steamboat Company for service between New York and Long Island ports. Beam engine built by the shipyard. In 1901 she was being oper- ated by the Long Island Railroad between Block Island and Fort Pond Bay. She was purchased in 1901 by Francis H.Clergue for the Algoma Central Railway, taken to Newfound- land, registered in the British Registry (# 113897), and renamed KING EDWARD. She came to the Lakes in 1902 and began service between Cleveland and the Canadian Soo. In 1910 she was sold to parties from London and Port Stanley, Ontario and ran between Cleveland and Port Stanley under the name FOREST CITY. Three years later she was again sold, this time to the Silver Islet Navigation Co of Fort William, Ont. and ran between Port Arthur, Isle Royale and Silver Islet. She returned to U.S.Registry in 1922 when she was ac- quired by Catherine Murphy & others of Milwaukee and operated on Lake Mich- igan, mostly on day excursions out of Chicago. Soon thereafter she was sold to Clow & Nicholson of Duluth and ran excursions between Duluth and Fond- E ulac. After nearly twenty years on the Duluth waterfront she was dismantled le in 1941, after gaining the distinction of being the last beam-engined side- wheeler to operate on the upper lakes. Her hull was sold to the Lyons Con- struction Company of Whitehall, Michigan, who still own her and use her for ‘transportation of stone and sand. (Our iliustration, courtesy of our fellow member Fred Crowe, shows her at Duluth in 1932.) Victor E.Scrivens AE SOK. AR take aR ak.
