Remember the Time...? Photo from Collection of Duff Brace The Lehigh Valley line steamer TUSCARORA, bound for Milwaukee and Chicago with a full cargo of general package freight, was sent to the bottom of the St.Clair Ri- ver as the result of a collision with the steamer MARYLAND, man- aged by Vance & Joys, Milwaukee, last Thursday (July 11, 1907). The collision occurred near the entrance to Lake Huron and the TUSCARORA drifted down and rammed the Grand Trunk docks at Port Hu- ron, damaging them and also stri- king the steamer NEW YORK, which was loading there, injuring her bow somewhat. The MARYLAND, which was bound for Buffalo with 132,000 bus. of corn lost her forward bulwarks and had a hole about 9 by 10 ft. stove in her bow extending down from the 14-ft. mark. The TUSCARORA when floated was found to have suffered heavy dam- ages to her bow. Her cargo was removed b the steamer MAUCH CHUNK and she will be dry docked at Ecorse. The MARYLAND will probably be dry docked at Ecorse also. The damages to both vessels were very serious but fortunately there was no loss of life. (From THE MARINE REVIEW, July 18,1907 MARYLAND was a steel bulk freigh- ter built in 1890 by the Detroit Dry Dock Co. (HULL 103) for Inter Ocean Transportation Co. She was 316" x 42" x 2435", 2419 g.t., and 1892 n.t. Official #92206. She was sold to the Atlantic Coast in 1915 and sank off New York City on Dec. 26, 1916, with the loss of 38 lives.
