Summary
| Description |
English: Description via NOAA: "The 250-foot, 2,104-ton Wexford was one of several steel package freighters built in Sunderland, England by William Doxford & Sons. The other vessels, Leafield, Scottish Hero, and Turret Chief, would ultimately share a similar fate to the Wexford in the great storm of 1913. While carrying a load of 96,000 bushels of wheat from Lake Superior, Wexford entered Lake Huron and was nearly to Goderich when it succumbed to the storm. Wexford went down with Captain Bruce Cameron and the entire crew of 20 men. The wreck was discovered on August 25, 2000 sitting intact and upright in 75 feet of water on the lake bottom." |
