Maritime History of the Great Lakes

Detroit Tribune (Detroit, MI), May 26, 1886

Description
Full Text

The schooner Elgin, a Canadian craft, after 12 years of service, lies moored at Chicago, apparently without an owner. Late last fall she was badly wrecked at Racine, costing nearly $3,000 to release her. The parties who formerly owned her do not feel disposed to pay this claim, and the insurance company will have none of her.

Notes
She was subsequently sold at a marshal's sale to recover the wrecking bill and became an American bottom (US#135898). She was wrecked northeast of Duluth in 1906, after a 32-year career.
