Description

December 7, 1909 might be the eeriest day of history on Lake Erie. The Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, set sail from Conneaut, Ohio, for a five-hour steam across the lake to Port Stanley, Ontario - but was never seen again. Since that time, researchers and shipwreck hunters have been looking for this 338-foot steel vessel and its story as to what happened on that December day. Join us as we take a look at the story, contrasting eye witness accounts, and possibly mutiny!
