The Paterson steamer NOV ADOC was stranded on Juniper Beach near Pentwater, Michigan. Two of her crew were washed overboard, the other nineteen crewmen were saved after 24 hours by the valiant efforts of the fish tug THREE BROTHERS, manned by Captain Clyde Cross, Gustav Fisher, and Joe Fountain. The Socony tanker NEW HAVEN SOCONY lost the top of her pilothouse off Grand Haven, Michigan but made port at East Chicago, Illinois, with an ice build up that allowed her only 16 inches of freeboard. The captain reported that the waves were higher than the ship's forty-five foot mast. One lifeboat was swept away and another damaged. A raft went overboard. The pilot house was swept away while Capt. Norton was inside. He narrowly escaped being washed overboard. The ship's heating plant was disabled, meals were scarce, but the ship's engines never stopped. The Saginaw Terminal & Dock Company World War | laker FRANK J PETERSON was stranded nla THE LOG On November 24 at about 11:00 AM, Kinsman Lines’ 642-foot steamer KINSMAN INDEPENDENT, a). CHARLES L. HUTCHINSON, b). ERNEST R. BREECH, ran aground approximately 2 miles from the south shore of Isle Royale at the entrance of Siskiwit Bay. Isle Royale, a U.S. national park under Michigan jurisdiction, lies about 40 miles southeast of Thunder Bay in Lake Superior. Bound for Thunder Bay to load 18,800 tons long tons of Manitoba wheat, KINSMAN INDEPENDENT was about 24 miles out of the shipping lane and was proceeding at normal speed when she struck a reef and grounded in about six feet of water. Coast Guard reports indicate the INDEPENDENT had sustained two gashes in her hull, about 150 feet from the bow on one side and 120 feet on the other. Although five ballast tanks were 44-5-4 at the westerly end of St. Helena Island near the Straits of Mackinac. After failing to budge during a salvage attempt by Roen Steamship Company in November, 1940, she was later salvaged by Roen and delivered to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on May 16, 1941. The Leathem D. Smith Steamship Company’s sand-sucker SINALOA grounded at Sac Bay near Big Bay de Noc after losing her rudder in the storm. She was so close to the beach that U.S. Coast Guardsmen from Munising, Michigan, on Lake Superior rushed eighty-five miles to the SINALOA on Lake Michigan and rescued the forty-one man crew by breeches buoy. Her forward end, except for the pilothouse, was under water. She was salvaged by the Roen Steamship Company of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and arrived at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on January 3, 1941, where she was declared a constructive total loss. However, she subsequently was returned to service. To be continued... ruptured, pumps were able to keep the ship stable. The INDEPENDENT was refloated 36 hours later with assistance from Purvis Marine's W.J. IVAN PURVIS and ANGLIAN LADY, and was escorted to Port Arthur Shipyards in Thunder Bay. The following day, she was placed on the drydock and further inspection confirmed the seriousness of the damage. Kinsman Lines has committed to spend the estimated $1.5 million to repair the vessel. Repairs will be completed at Port Arthur, and are expected to require about a month to complete. In early December, the U. S. Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office in Duluth announced that its investigation of the incident concluded that “human error” was the cause of the grounding. *** Enerchem Transport’s tanker ENERCHEM FUSION, a).
