Watertown Herald (Watertown, NY), Saturday Nov. 9, 1907

The coal barge Onondaga foundered in Lake Ontario, one mile north of Stony Point light, Tuesday and is at the bottom with 632 tons of coal in her hulk. The Black Diamond, a sister coal barge, is sunk near Navy Point on a mud bar. Both boats spring leaks in a sea that was one of the heaviest of the year.

Two barges, towed by Glengary, Captain Le May, left Oswego Tuesday with heavy seas running. About 2:30 o’clock the Onondaga sprung a leak. Efforts was made to reach Sackets Harbor, but the barge sank near Stony Point.

The Black Diamond had meanwhile sprung a leak, but was brought as far as Navy Point, where she now rests on a mud bottom with four feet of water in her hold. She will probably be reclaimed, but the Onondaga is hopelessly lost. The later was owned by A. Le May of Montreal.
