Summary
DescriptionJohn Stine Stands above the Engine of the Freighter "Indiana".jpg |
English: John Stine stands on the shore above the 18-foot engine of the freighter "Indiana," which was salvaged from the bottom of Lake Superior. The effort was jointly sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, the United States Navy and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Artifacts were sent to the National Museum of American History's collections storage at the Museum Support Center
The "Indiana" was built in 1848. The "Indiana" was powered by a steam engine of very early and historic design. The engine turned a unique Erickson Screw Propeller. The Indiana was originally in the passenger service on the lower lakes and after the Soo Locks were opened transported iron ore on Lake Superior. It foundered on June 6, 1858 off Crisp Point in heavy weather after it started leaking badly around the propeller shaft. It was down-bound hauling a cargo of iron ore loaded at Marquette, Michigan at the time 1979. |
