City of Boston (Propeller), aground, 1 Nov 1873

Capt. Keating, the Marine Agent and Inspector, was in this city yesterday on his return from a visit to the prop. CITY OF BOSTON, which lies beached some 5 miles from Frankfort, on the east shore of Lake Michigan. She was laden with corn and flour, nearly all of which will be a total loss. The steamer is a complete wreck, broken amidships, stanchions on one side gone and otherwise badly out of shape. She has been abandoned, though her machinery may be saved.
