The Drowned SS Algoma: Scottish Ghost on the Great Lakes

Birthed in 1883 by Aitken & Mansell, Scotland-born, the SS Algoma was destined to be a gallant for Canadian Pacific Railway. Destiny had other plans. Its sibling, the Alberta, met with John M. Osborn at Whitefish Point, Michigan in July 1884, costing three lives. On a frosty November 7, 1885, the SS Algoma collided with Mott Island in Lake Superior, splitting into two. The 46 lives lost during this tragedy rivaled that of the Titanic, making it the greatest loss on Great Lakes waters. Following the Great Lakes route via Toronto, Owen Sound, and Thunder Bay, its final leg ended in a whirl of white.
