This narrative examines an outstanding sport diving shipwreck and the tragedy that brought the Philadelphia to the floor of lake Huron. The Philadelphia rests in an upright position with cases of canned goods, bucksaws, hardware and coal lying in the cargo holds. Her deck load of cast iron stoves is still aboard and many hand tools are still visible on he deck. Mysteriously, 24 of the 47 men perished in the fog, making this the worst Great Lakes disaster of 1893. |
