Charles Weston (Propeller), U203184, aground, 1 May 1907
- Full Text
Ashland, May 30 - The steel stm. CHARLES WESTON was released from the
rocks at Outer Island shortly before noon today after 1,200 tons of her coal
cargo had been thrown into the lake.
The steamer was resting nearly her whole length on a flat rock, but slid off into deep water under the combined efforts of the stm. WILLIAM ROGERS and tug CROSBY. The WESTON later left for Duluth under her own steam.
The captains of both the WESTON and ROGERS state that the fog signal on the Outer Island was not heard by them at the time the WESTON stranded.
