When I was in the U.S. Coast Guard I went from an east coast duty station to Station Lorain, Ohio, which was a search and rescue station. One night we got our 41 foot UTB underway for a flare sighting. It was so rough that we did a snap roll and broke the mounts of the mast. I never worked so hard as a coxwain to keep us from going over, and a few times I was thinking to myself that we weren't going to make it back. Lake Erie is indeed a cruel and unpredictable body of water.
As a subscriber who grew up on Lake Erie, I appreciate and approve of all of your Great Lakes stories! Something you ought to know about Lake Erie…the Erie Quadrangle. It runs across the lake, bracketing the Presque Isle peninsula off the city of Erie and the Long Point peninsula in Ontario. The two peninsulas pinch the lake in like a waist, causing the lake’s currents to shift. If you look at a map of shipwrecks in the lake, you’ll see that more have sunk in the Quadrangle than in the rest of Lake Erie combined.
That's also because that's where the most traffic is/was. I'm a sailor out of Erie, and it can be TREACHEROUS all of a sudden, but your "quadrangle" is also the entirety of the East Basin, and the only deep part of the lake.
The Great Lakes do not get that name for nothing. The Bay of Biscay is a nasty part of water. See it on a global map it may not seem like much. But many have lost their lives there.
@mtasubwaymartasubway your loss. It's the best sailing in the world. Neither the "erie ambiguous polygon" not the bermuda triangle are real things. Don't be scared by fairy tales.
I feel bad for Captain Grashaw. It must have been horrific to not only survive such a horrific event. But to live the rest of your life knowing that your entire crew did not survive.
I don't feel bad for him, quite the opposite, maybe he should have been a little smarter and done what every other captain there was doing and wait out the storm. His ego is what killed his whole crew, I mean the ship was trashed in just a matter of hours, it also wouldn't surprise me if he was the first person to abandon ship onto the life boat from the time the ship started sinking and made up a fantastic story of nearly drowning to gain some sympathy.
@@danielstokes6934 😳 🤦♂️ brutal retort!!! A possible scenario , maybe 🤷♂️ but a new Capt first command wouldn’t bode well for his rep & career owners $ greed didn’t care about their ships and crews they had insurance , wanted captains that would do the imprudent to get the job done on time
There's a large Great Lakes cargo ship stick in the ice in Lake Erie just off of Buffalo right now, easily visible from downtown. (As of time of writing on 1/25/25; it first appeared on 1/21/25). This video's hitting pretty close to home. Great timing! :D
Born and raised Lakefront and have lived there my entire life. I once timed the 'calm before the storm' ahead of a powerful front. It took 20 minutes from mill pond flat to breaking surf after it passed.
As a testament to how unpredictable and treacherous Lake Erie can still be, as this video debuts a present-day drama is unfolding there with the 660' laker Manitoulin stuck in the ice for three days just off Buffalo after delivering a final load of wheat for the season, with both the American and Canadian Coast Guards working to free her.
I kayak on lake Erie often, and yeah, no matter what time of year, the mood of the lake can change *real* fast. Even today with modern weather forecasting, you still can't be 100% sure what you'll encounter. The Great Lakes are so large that they generate their own weather, and sometimes pretty quickly at that. I can only imagine how much more lonely and hopeless the crews of those ships felt over a century ago without radio or proper safety gear. RIP to those brave souls.
I've been caught by rough weather on my kayak while on a small 12 mile resivor. The weather changed so quickly and I was a mile across the lake and had to cross too get to the ramp. Definitely need to pay attention to weather at all times.
Thank you. You work your socks off to keep these peoples story alive. I love the old ships and hearing about them. The lakers are fascinating to me. So, thank you.
My family had a boat growing up, and we spent some time fishing on Lake Erie. I remember there was an underwater ship wreck east of Kelly's Island that we would try to get out to and get some good fishing in. That wreck was what got me hooked on reading and watching these great lakes disaster stories. It still amazes me that the lakes can bring down such massive ships. Later, we watched an ore carrier load up behind Cedar Point in Sandusky Bay.
I was waitng on you to do this, this storms seems to be forgotten in contrast to the 1913 and 1905 storms/gales, your bringing them back to a standing notoriety, and that they must be damn respected, or they'll claim you
I hadn't known about this storm, even though I've always been interested in storms on the Great Lakes. I'm in Port Huron, just 2 blocks from St. Clair River. I lived for a time near Buffalo, NY, and I've sailed in that area on coal and iron ore runs. May those poor souls rest in peace. Thank you so much for the history lessons in all of your videos. My message to the Patrons who donate through Patreon is this: "Thank you! _Your_ donations keep this channel afloat 😊"
We live about an hour south of lake Erie and there is nothing creepier than seeing dark storm clouds over the lake as they look even more foreboding. Not to mention sometimes the rain storms coming in are surprisingly nasty.
The great lake's are definitely like the ocean, except for the salt. As a kid, growing up in Michigan, we would take trips to South Haven Michigan and swim in lake Michigan. Back in the 70's, when i was seven, i was caught up in an under tow, and everytime i thought i was gonna make it back, I'd get pulled further out as i was pulled under water. Thankfully my mom noticed, and was able to get someone to swim out to bring me back to shore, it was pretty scary. I once heard a sailor say that the water of the great lake's tried to kill him, and after seeing the carnage of the past, i tend to agree with him. I have gone on trips to Northern Michigan travelling over the Mackinac bridge, and the wind has at time's felt like it was gonna carry the car away. A lot of people aren't aware of how dangerous these lake's can be, i suppose that's why i am always interested in the history of the many shipwrecks. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into telling these stories while having respect for the loss of life, whether on the lake's, or out in the ocean. G-d bless.
It's not why I follow you, but your steady, rich voice is very soothing to my migraine addled brain. (I follow you because your content is fascinating and covers a niche corner of maritime history).
I was born in Chicago and when I was 5 years old when the blizzard of 1967 hit Illinois! I remember it like it happened yesterday! My question to you is did any ship's sink on Lake Michigan during the blizzard???? ???????
I cannot directly answer your question, but I do find it unlikely for any ships to have sailed the lakes in January, as most of the last season run stories we hear, are in late November to early December
2 ships where the captians are the sole survivors, thats chilling and disturbing. regardless of their ranks thats something that would stay with you forever
I grew up on Lake Erie, and a few times I was out on or near the breakwalls when a storm came in. Whoo man, it gets nasty. You do not want to be anywhere near it when the lake starts throwing a fit.
All the time I spent at Cedar Point on Put in Bay, I never realized it was the perfect anchorage for Lake Erie storms. Crazy what industrial decline and negligence does to a region...
Cedar point is on a peninsula on the mainland just north of Sandusky, Put-in-Bay is actually on South Bass Island. They're relatively close (15 miles or so) and a ferry that runs between them, but they're not the same. I've sailed between them many times, and it can take a good 2 hours to get from cedar point to Put-in-Bay But yes, cedar point offers pretty good protection for Sandusky harbor, and probably would offer even better protection if the cedars for which it was named weren't mostly cut down
ironic how oceangate peaked my curiosity in titanic, now i can't get enough from BOB, oceanliner designs and historic travels, now my most watched channels
There's a photo of the schooner J. T. Wing passing under the Blue Water Bridge (Port Huron - Point Edward/Sarnia) in 1939 or 1940. There's another photo that I can't find. It shows a steel freighter and a schooner at the bridge. The first Blue Water Bridge was completed in 1938, so that's pretty late as far as schooners. I'm not sure how late they sailed, maybe 1950s. (btw, A second span was constructed in the 1990s; the first is still going strong)..
I have watched all the available segments that you have produced. I graduated in 1972 and had alot of professional cooking experience. I seriously thought about getting a job on a lake freighter. After watching these programs I am sure I made the correct move not to. I enjoy these programs and still boat on Lake Erie, but I don't go out in bad weather.
The Merida, when she was built, was an experimental design. She was built with her engines amidships unlike most other freighters with their engines aft. Merida’s Experimental design proved to be unfavorable, and so she was rebuilt into the standard Lake Freighter design with her engine compartments aft.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve always been interested in hearing more about this storm since I first heard about it! At about 1:50 the last ship on the right I think is a Bradley boat! Might even be the Carl D. Bradley! One of the victims of the Filer was Captain James Mattison’s nephew. Makes it even worse for him.
As a european sailing instructor, with family in Cleveland, Ohio, i've been sailing on lake erie a few times... it was summer and quite calm but one could feel the sice of the body of water by its movement.... its hard to comprehend body of fresh water of that sice and then one has to realize that this is only one of the small ones of these lakes..... The great lakes keep me captivated....
Big Old Boats, Another great video with wonderful images!!! You produce really fine nautical histories. In the video: @ 4:47 is the 1913 SEEANDBEE of the Cleveland & Buffalo Transit Company. @ 7:42 [in the background] is the 1912 CITY OF DETROIT III of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation Company. @ 7:47 [in the background] is what might be the 1893 CITY OF ALPENA of the D & C Line. Again, a great video!!!
LAKE ERIE BROS REPRESENT!!!! I got a copy of “ships and men of the Great Lakes,” for Christmas. Lake Erie is the oldest and nastiest Great Lakes, and the best football teams play there In all seriousness though, thanks for doing a Lake Erie wreck. Love all your stuff
Do you have any in the queue about Lake Ontario? I'd love to see something from closer to home. (Grew up lived most of my live on its southeast corner)
I second this, would be neat to cover the story of the James Norris when she sank at the dock in Colborne. It’s more recent (‘95) and resulted in no fatalities.
I was born on October 18th and have lived in western NY all of my life, I've had some beautiful 70° birthdays on the other hand I've had some 40° birthday with 60 mph winds and stormy as, there's always an "end of summer" between mid October to mid November--as to when exactly???
Believe it or not, it's SOP on a lake or sea emergency involving larger waves or chop. While it sounds offensive, the oil acts as a "lid" on the chop, enabling a less dangerous rescue of a crew. It is only permitted in extreme emergencies.
Dudes, it's 2025 and you STILL can't predict Great Lakes weather hour to hour. I used to own a little place on the shore of Ontario, and one night a storm popped up, 20' surge. The next day, our 40'beach had literal tons of driftwood, dock foam, a Canadian coast guard radio, multiple dead fish, 2 tires, and no joke about 30,000 plastic tampon applicators. It was gross. Took me 5 or 6 solid weekends to clear that tiny shore.
Is it just me or do the old Liberty Ships look like they took as many of the worst design choices of the Great Lake ore freighters as they possibly could without just having the same design
Whenever history is being discussed, its the standard to use the names of places as they existed at the time. Thus, "Gulf of America" pertains only to events that took place in 2025 or later.

@roderickcampbell2105 Bay of Biscay is not on Lake Erie. It's not even on the same continent. What are you talking about?
I'm never going Erie or the Bermuda triangle, never, to dangerous
@mtasubwaymartasubway your loss. It's the best sailing in the world. Neither the "erie ambiguous polygon" not the bermuda triangle are real things. Don't be scared by fairy tales.
Having a picture of the Butters sinking is pretty incredible. It’s nice to hear of an entire crew getting rescued

I have a family member that ended up working a cargo ship in Lake Erie. It’s a distant grandfather. Love to know which boat he served on and stories.
Great episode. I'm always glad to learn of ships and boats I've never heard of. All of the lost deserve to be remembered. Thank you 😊😊
I'm always blown away (gale force) by your pairing of evocative footage & narration. Thanks BOB.

Only 15 sailors survived out of 64 total, 13 from just one ship.
Heartbreaking

I'd never heard of dropping oil to calm the waters before. Fascinating stories. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope everyone has a great night or day.
Really? Pretty common thing I believe. Most life rafts back in the day carried a can of oil for this specific purpose.
2 ships where the captians are the sole survivors, thats chilling and disturbing. regardless of their ranks thats something that would stay with you forever

10-thousand views in your first 8 hours, well done! Your work just keeps improving.
All the time I spent at Cedar Point on Put in Bay, I never realized it was the perfect anchorage for Lake Erie storms. Crazy what industrial decline and negligence does to a region...
Cedar Point Marina is a wonderful place and the Bay is a great place to sail.
Cedar point is on a peninsula on the mainland just north of Sandusky, Put-in-Bay is actually on South Bass Island. They're relatively close (15 miles or so) and a ferry that runs between them, but they're not the same.

The lakes ne’er give up there dead, Hopefully all of those lost on the lakes are at peace.
Especially when the storms of November come early

Look at part time explorers videos as well
I had no idea schooners sailed that late into the 20th Century...

Thank you !!
Excellent job Brad! I enjoy these videos.
Thank you for telling their stories. I have been interested in Great Lakes Shipping but I had not heard of this storm.
This new episode made my day
Good presentation, as always. Thx.
Is it weird that listen to your Chanel to fall asleep to? By no means it’s boring, quite the opposite. Calling, interesting and relaxing
Thank you for these videos. My wife spent part of her childhood growing up in Port Huron.

Maritime safety culture was atrocious before FDR. Makes me feel safer as an inland Journeyman electrician...
Each of these stories I hear makes me wish for a movie.
Amazing how one bad decision could cost so many lives and forever changs the lives of those who survived.

Greed got a lot of souls lost on the great lakes
Awesome content..👍🏻
It seems like it's always night time with these events. So sad.
Another great video.
After watching all these videos, I'm beginning to think these lakes aren't so great xD but the stories are
Lol
I love the storie of the Great Lakes
Great episode as always! It seems the Merida was found off Long Point 42 degrees ,13' N 81 degrees 53' W I dont know when.
I love the John carpenter music 😊
18:23 and 18:26. You said, “A crude 5X5 platform” twice.
😅 I thought I bumped something and made it repeat
Wow the sailor in the first story who were like minutes away to be saved after that ordeal and didnt make it...
Do you have any in the queue about Lake Ontario? I'd love to see something from closer to home. (Grew up lived most of my live on its southeast corner)
I second this, would be neat to cover the story of the James Norris when she sank at the dock in Colborne. It’s more recent (‘95) and resulted in no fatalities.
Cool video 😂
Being from Buffalo I enjoy Lake Erie stories.
Lake Erie is a beautiful lake, but when she gets grumpy watch out!
I was born on October 18th and have lived in western NY all of my life, I've had some beautiful 70° birthdays on the other hand I've had some 40° birthday with 60 mph winds and stormy as, there's always an "end of summer" between mid October to mid November--as to when exactly???
A crude 5×5 platform you say?
🙏🙏
Dropped oil?
Believe it or not, it's SOP on a lake or sea emergency involving larger waves or chop. While it sounds offensive, the oil acts as a "lid" on the chop, enabling a less dangerous rescue of a crew. It is only permitted in extreme emergencies.
Why the secrecy???
Dudes, it's 2025 and you STILL can't predict Great Lakes weather hour to hour.
I used to own a little place on the shore of Ontario, and one night a storm popped up, 20' surge. The next day, our 40'beach had literal tons of driftwood, dock foam, a Canadian coast guard radio, multiple dead fish, 2 tires, and no joke about 30,000 plastic tampon applicators. It was gross. Took me 5 or 6 solid weekends to clear that tiny shore.
Is it just me or do the old Liberty Ships look like they took as many of the worst design choices of the Great Lake ore freighters as they possibly could without just having the same design
