Stockman (Propeller), burnt, 1 Aug 1865

PROPELLER BURNED.---The Tug STOCKMAN was burned at Findley's Ferry, Bear Creek, on Tuesday night. She went into Bear Creek on that evening. The men turned in at 11 o'clock, leaving her in charge of the watchman, who it seems, deserted his post. The men were awakened by the progress of the fire, and had barely time to escape. She will prove a total loss. Valued at between $4,000 and $5,000. She was owned by captain Bates; Capt. S. Mott, master. Whether insured, we did not hear. She was built at Cleveland in 1852 by Luther Moses, and was 81 tons burthen. She was first engaged among the fisheries at Thunder Bay, and subsequently plied between Port Huron and Detroit.
