Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Description via NOAA: "The 269-foot, 1,454-ton Leafield was one of several steel freighters built in Sunderland, England as saltwater tramps, then brought to the Great Lakes for the ore and grain trade. The other vessels, Wexford, Scottish Hero, andTurret Chief, would ultimately share a similar fate to the Leafield. While carrying a load of steel railroad rails and equipment across Lake Superior from Sault Ste. Marie to Port Arthur, Leafield grounded on Angus Island near Thunder Cape at the height of the storm. Eventually the monstrous wave of November pulled the ship free of the rocks and out into the lake where it foundered with Captain Charles Baker and 17 of his crew, all from Collingwood, Ontario. Almost at the same time the Leafield was lost, the Scottish Hero was taking a beating on Lake Superior and the Turret Chief grounded on the Keweenaw. Later in the storm the Wexford was lost in lower Lake Huron with all hands." |
