IMG_4111 Fedora Wreck - a photo on Flickriver

            The 282-foot-long bulk carrier Fedora was one of the larger classes of freighters during the late 19th century. Unfortunately, the vessel met with a fire accident in 1901 when she was en route to Ashland from Duluth to bring iron ore. This was a similar journey to the one undertaken by the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald.

One of the stoutest vessels built at its time, the Fedora met its unprecedented fate because of a fire breaking out in its engine cabin. Though none of the crew aboard the vessel lost their lives, the Fedora soon became a lost cause as it burned and eventually sank into the waters of Chicago Creek in Buffalo Bay.

The Great Lake shipwreck of the vessel Fedora lies in the depths of Lake Superior. Salvage operations were conducted in November 1901, and essential machinery was recovered for further use. The charred hull is a dangerous diving and boating site since portions of the vessel reach the surface and can damage vessels.
