Rio Grande (Schooner), aground, 16 Nov 1871
- Full Text
ASHORE. - The schooner RIO GRANDE went ashore early on Monday morning within one and a half miles of the Dummy light at Point Au Pelee. She can, it is thought, be got afloat without difficulty. The tug WILCOX has gone from Detroit to her assistance. The captain of the RIO GRANDE attributes the fault of his getting ashore, to the miserable condition of the light, it being scarcely visible from where the vessel now lies.
