This 178' passenger-cargo freighter sank in a gale storm on Sept 14, 1928 on Lake Huron with a load of 100 cattle. Speculation was that the cattle broke down the center partition and rushed to one side. See her web pages for the details of her design, construction and service history. 18 persons aboard were lost in this disaster.

Cover is franked with a 3 cent Soo Locks stamp # 1069 and a 63 cent flag stamp # 5788(FDOI).
