1887 Casualty List (partial loss)
The Marine Record, Dec. 15, 1887 p. 4 & 5
The Tug SAMSON has been in dock to repair the damages done while on Lake Erie, by coming in collision, as Captain McNiff said, with an unknown propeller, bound up, while near Long Point. The SAMSON received a very serious blow, damaging her stem and bow badly. Her stem was broken and her plank and apron, when she arrived in port were in a very demoralized condition.
