I. N. Foster (Propeller), aground, 12 Jun 1905
- Full Text
Manistee, June 11 - In the heavy fog last night the I.N. FOSTER, bound for Sturgeon Bay to Saugatuck with a cargo of stone, ran ashore tow miles north of Big Pt. Sable. The stranded boat was discovered by the stm. CHARLES REITZ, which was unable to release her. The crew of the FOSTER was taken off by the crew of the Manistee Life Savers and brought here today.
The steamer is leaking badly and is now full of water. She rests on a sandy bottom, with 10 ft. of water forward and 15 ft. aft. With a tug and lighter the boat can probably be saved. Leatham & Smith of Sturgeon Bay have been wired for assistance.
