I am looking for some type of LC Waldo crew registry during the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 or a report of names that were rescued. <br /><br />My Father was not born at time of the Storm, but remembered large bits of the story. He is unsure of the name of the ship. <br /> My Great-Grandfather Romeo J. Samson from Detroit, Mi/Quebec born/raised (Marine Engineer) was rescued when his "unknown named" possibly Ore carrying freighter was split in half and run aground. It took multiple days to rescue. Everyone on board survived. It is unsure if his ship was in Lake Huron or Lake Superior. But it was home ported in Detroit. <br />My research of the bits of information lead strongly to LC Waldo but I would like to be able to confirm. If you know of a list of the crew or someone who may, please advise?<br />Captain Todd Samson<br />Livonia FD<br />Multimedia Marketinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706192476610083640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-70240482595920004672013-11-08T22:53:47.706-05:002013-11-08T22:53:47.706-05:00Paula, I have read White Hurricane as well (twice!...Paula, I have read White Hurricane as well (twice!) and I agree it is an excellent book for anyone interested in more about this historic storm.<br /><br />1913 was a rough year for the Great Lakes.

So many ships and sailors lost - glad that you brought all of them back in memory...<br />There's a wonderful book about this called "White Hurricane: A Great Lakes Gale and America's Deadliest Maritime Disaster" by David G. Brown...<br /><br />PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548139036263395333noreply@blogger.com
