Lost With All Hands on Lake Superior the Adella Shores

- When a vessel vanishes on Lake Superior it is felt that the vast expanse of the lake and the depth of her water will forever hold the secret to the disaster. Sometimes the news reports of the day mislead us in searching for a lost vessel. Yet occasionally the mute evidence left on the surface can tell us the truth. In the 1909 loss of the wooden steamer Adella Shores her secret was held by Lake Superior for more than a century. But in 2021she was found. This is her story.
Just shaking my head at how cold and scary that must have been. And I grew up in the Soo in the 1970s. I know cold. Oof. Let’s all raise a glass to these guys tonight. They deserve it. Wes, thanks for remembering them.
Thank you!
Yeah, I was just reading g about the Asia last week jn the paper. It's always crazy to me
It's good to hear your voice and listen to your story again! I know you said you would be busy traveling this summer, so I've been waiting patiently for a new story.
As usual, it is well told, bring to life a past that very few are aware of.
That's my job- bringing back the forgotten folks.
Best lake boat history channel… thing.
Thanks!
I always learn something new from these videos. Mercy be on the lost crew of Adella Shores.
Thanks for watching
Great video as always wes! As boatnerds know a tragedy is upon us. The vessel S.T. Crapo will be scrapped in port colborne. One of my favorite vessels, this is sad. Being the boatnerd I am, I got several photos while in green Bay.
This is the year of classic scrapings... almost as bad as the early 1980s
Always the great storyteller and factual historian!
I love my job. Thank you
Your narrations and illustrations are well done. The stories are haunting but interesting.
Thank you very much! I always wanted to be haunting, but interesting... guess I'm on the right track.
Thank you for the video. Very interesting, watching your vids helps to pass the time on these gloomy northern December evenings.
Gee... the newest one is about ice-breaking... guess I need to do some summertime video.
Ignorant, arrogant Captain's setting out into storms is a well recorded death knell for vessels throughout history.
I thought the model was excellent and particularly the tiny oar and jacket.
It makes you think about the poor man that clung to it as he slowly succumbed to hypothermia in that freezing cold water.
Sadly, he would have known that he couldn't stay alive in those conditions...
Indeed
Gotta chase the dollars. The sooner you get moving the sooner the money rolls in. And the captain was now a part owner so he was going to push the limits .
Neat story.
Lake history has become quite intriguing to me. 🙂
We'll have you hooked in no time at all.
Great vid Wes! Well worth the wait. Am I correctly seeing the shadow of the other mast in those images of the wreck? Also kind of ironic the point of a clue to a single survival of the wreck before succumbing, only to be almost repeated by the Morrell herself.
Irony seems to be my business too often.
Yes you probably are seeing a shadow. A good explanation of side scan sonar is to watch. Adventures with Purpose here on you tube, they use a lot of side scan when looking for vehicles under water
Another nice video Wes, Thanks for reporting this event.
It's a wreck with many links in its chain of events
I really appreciate your videos, Wes! Thanks for sharing them.
I appreciate that!
What a coincidence that two ships would have a shared history and both would eventually wreck. As much as I know about the Daniel J Morrell I never knew she crossed paths with Adella Shores.
And now ya' know... thus, my job is done.
I cant wait to see more from the trip Wes !
I'm so grateful to have the Adella Shores prop in this video!!!
Me too.
Yep everyone reading here should know that you do indeed have the prop hull section from that final shot! It was my gift to you my friend.
Always love when two Lakers who sank have a small part in the other's story
Wes, I’ve got a couple of questions. 1. How often do crewmembers get off the ships during the season? I’m under the impression that they never get off the boat all season because they never stop anywhere longer than necessary. 2. Do boats keep cats or dogs as pets/ mascots?
Union contracts now give crews "vacation" after a certain amount of weeks aboard ship. As early as the 1960s when you signed aboard, you were on for the whole season, however, some crew transferred from one boat to another and college students could sign aboard as a summer job.
@@authorwes I did find an article in a Duluth paper talking about some crew going "up the street" for a few hours when they weren't on duty and the boat was getting loaded.
It took a long time to load the boats. If they were in port loading and unloading, they might sleep ashore, leaving one crew member to keep watch. @@bigmonmagoomba9634
YOO TWO OF MY FAVORITE RUclipsRS POSTED TO DAY
LETS GO!
Another interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Wes!
You bet!
Think I’ve seen all your videos Wes I absolutely love them!
Wow, thanks!
I am not sure I've seen it covered before, but what was the last wooden freighter to service the great lakes?
Wow... great question.... I'll need to dig into that one.
Good video. Those old pics are quite a window. I guess that spring ice caused as much trouble as season's end.
Yes, true
I'd really like to see an ancient capsized canoe. They should be there, but maybe they never sank
Most are found buried inland
Will there be video of the Shores released soon? She looks really intact!
That's up to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society
God bless
Such a cheery subject. Nice video.
Cheery and shipwreck rarely go together
@@authorwes I hope you realize I was being sarcastic.
Those old ships were beautiful!
Oh yeah... she had some lines indeed.
They found her!
Yep!
Do they know what wreckage they glenella pulled up in their anchor?
Nope.
Oddly enough, there are no rocks in Gibraltar, Michigan. 😁
Hummmm....
The old Paterson ship James P. Donaldson was just discovered this last week on lake superior
I heard a rumor about that
@@authorwes they need to do a final dive/send a camera down to confirm but from the radar imaging the outline is the same as the last pictures of her before she was scuttled.
TBayNewsWatch did a story on her
10:21, Little did People know, that one day, Specifically November 29, 1966, the SS Daniel J. Morrell would break in half and sink in Lake Huron, taking all but one of her crew. And Yes, I know you know the story.
I fine it sort of funny about how the Bradley, Morrell, and Fitzgerald are connected in some way.
can you do some research into the wreck of the garden city i cant find things of it anywhere
I did her story, in detail, in March of 2020... ruclips.net/video/DuIOlYw1kTI/видео.html
When will be the next vid on building the lake boat ?
Because I have been using your vids to build it soo yea
Reflux posters we know you’re out there!
Too well
Better call in James Cameron and the guys from deepsea detectives as well for the ship wrecks fishing for them and i know they can always find the rail car ferries boats then any other ones
in the puget sound we have floating feet (in tennis shoes0
I’ve heard about that 😔
Of course you know about the Morrell. You'd have to be a idiot to think someone who authors books on the great lakes doesn't know about Morrell but you just happen to know the tale.
You'd be surprised how many post before they think.
