Maritime History of the Great Lakes

Genoa (Scow), aground, 1 Nov 1859

Description
Full Text

The scow GENOA, of Buffalo, which went ashore at North Manitous last fall, loaded with provisions for the manitous and Grand traverse, was got off recently by the tug LEVIATHAN, Capt. Hait. Hulbert, Kirtland & Co., are her present owners, and we learn that they intend to make her a full-rigged vessel, and use her as a "lighter" hereafter. She is 200 tons burthen. This will be highly gratifying to sailors on the lakes, as the want of such a vessel as this, early and late in the season has been long felt in this locality. -- Mackinac Herald 14th.
