Horrific Mystery of SS Cyprus: Lost on Lake Superior
Horrific Sinking of SS Cyprus: Lost on Lake Superior
A beautiful feeling of peace and tranquillity infused the air as the sun rose over Lake Superior. But a catastrophe of unfathomable proportions was brewing under the surface. Hundreds of people boarded the SS Cyprus when it sank in 1907. The ship disappeared without a trace into the murky depths of the lake and was never to be seen again!

The Horror on Lake Superior | Loss of SS Cyprus
The Mysterious Loss Of SS Cyprus on Lake Superior!
Although many unexplained things have happened on Lake Superior, none are as puzzling as the disappearance of the SS Cyprus. This strange occurrence on October 11 is still a topic of interest because of the shroud of mystery and intrigue surrounding it. __It was a tragic evening when the ship's passengers and crew boarded, not knowing their voyage would be cut short by a force they couldn't have seen coming!
So what happened? Who or what was responsible for the demise of Cyprus? Why is Lake Superior known as the Graveyard of Ships? What are some notable wrecks of Lake Superior?

Sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald
SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.
For 17 years, Edmund Fitzgerald carried taconite iron ore from mines near Duluth, Minnesota, to iron works in Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. As a workhorse, she set seasonal haul records six times, often breaking her own record. Captain Peter Pulcer was known for piping music day or night over the ship's intercom while p...

The HORRIFIC Disaster of the SS ARCTIC 1854
The Terrible Sinking of the SS Arctic | Disaster Documentary
It was the Titanic disaster of its day. Hundreds of people perished in the water. It created quite a stir in late nineteenth-century America. As not a single woman or child was saved. Many of the male survivors were really crew members, rather than passengers. New York society was furious. Hungry for details and lurid accounts about the disaster, the tragedy fueled one of the first newspaper wars in the city. But now the tale of the S.S.

Horrific Sinking of SS Cyprus: Lost on Lake Superior
A beautiful feeling of peace and tranquillity infused the air as the sun rose over Lake Superior. But a catastrophe of unfathomable proportions was brewing under the surface. Hundreds of people boarded the SS Cyprus when it sank in 1907. The ship disappeared without a trace into the murky depths of the lake and was never to be seen again!
So what happened? How did the SS Cyprus disappear into thin air? What is the story of S.S DM Clemson? What are the horrifying secrets surrounding Lake Superior? STAY WITH US !!
The ship Cyprus was constructed at Lorain, Ohio, and put into service on August 17, 1907. She was 128 meters long and had a steel hull, making her a 15,000-ton steamer. The Lackawanna to Steamship Company owned her, and she was headquartered in Fairport, Ohio, northeast of Cleveland, on Lake Erie.
Cyprus was on her second journey, transporting iron ore from Superior, Wisconsin to Buffalo, New York, when a moderate storm developed near Deer Park. The Sole survivor Second Mate Charles G. Pitz, said that the ship Cyprus had been swept away by northwesterly waves throughout the day, resulting in the ship becoming extremely unbalanced.
According to some stories, Captain F. B. Huyck was among the four people who climbed into a raft with Pitz. Around 2:00 a.m., the rafts and its passengers were less than 300 feet from shore when waves overturned them. __All of the passengers except for Pitz perished in the waves. Pitz stumbled ashore unintentionally, approximately a half-mile east of the Deer Park Life-Saving Station. Except for two, all the corpses were found and identified later.
No one could say for sure what triggered the ship's sinking. The Water was constantly being mixed with iron ore dust in its cargo hold before being pushed out, as reported by George Stephenson, a steamer from Pittsburgh that passed Cyprus the same day and saw its distinctive red trail. __The cause of the leak has been speculated to be the kind of hydraulic sliding hatch cover installed on the almost-new ship. This hatch style had a steel-on-steel seal, making it susceptible to water leakage unless suitable tarpaulins were installed. It also was unclear if Huyck had given the order to set up the tarps.__Some other theories propose that worker unrest in Lorain, Ohio, during Cyprus' construction may have contributed to other, undiscoverable faults, or that the engine or rudder failed, leaving the ship unable to escape wave troughs.

The Mysterious Loss Of SS Cyprus on Lake Superior!
Although many unexplained things have happened on Lake Superior, none are as puzzling as the disappearance of the SS Cyprus. This strange occurrence on October 11 is still a topic of interest because of the shroud of mystery and intrigue surrounding it. __It was a tragic evening when the ship's passengers and crew boarded, not knowing their voyage would be cut short by a force they couldn't have seen coming!
So what happened? Who or what was responsible for the demise of Cyprus? Why is Lake Superior known as the Graveyard of Ships? What are some notable wrecks of Lake Superior?
The SS Cyprus was launched on August 17, 1907, after being constructed at Lorain, Ohio. She had a steel hull and was about 420 feet in length. Her weight was estimated to be 15,000 tonnes. She was owned by the Lackawant to Steamship Company, a subsidiary of Pickands Mather and Company and headquartered in Fairport, Ohio, northeast of Cleveland, on Lake Erie.
Cyprus was on her second trip, transporting iron ore from Superior, Wisconsin, to Buffalo, New York, when a heavy storm developed near Deer Park. According to modern reports, the storm was nothing that Cyprus couldn't handle.__The sole survivor, Second Mate Charles G. Pitz, said that the ship had been sliding increasingly to port all afternoon due to the northwesterly seas.

SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.
For 17 years, Edmund Fitzgerald carried taconite iron ore from mines near Duluth, Minnesota, to iron works in Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. As a workhorse, she set seasonal haul records six times, often breaking her own record. Captain Peter Pulcer was known for piping music day or night over the ship's intercom while passing through the St. Clair and Detroit rivers (between lakes Huron and Erie), and entertaining spectators at the Soo Locks (between Lakes Superior and Huron) with a running commentary about the ship. Her size, record-breaking performance, and "DJ captain" endeared Edmund Fitzgerald to boat watchers.
Carrying a full cargo of ore pellets with Captain Ernest M. McSorley in command, she embarked on her ill-fated voyage from Superior, Wisconsin, near Duluth, on the afternoon of November 9, 1975. En route to a steel mill near Detroit, Edmund Fitzgerald joined a second taconite freighter, SS Arthur M. Anderson. By the next day, the two ships were caught in a severe storm on Lake Superior, with near hurricane-force winds and waves up to 35 feet (11 m) high. Shortly after 7:10 p.m., Edmund Fitzgerald suddenly sank in Canadian (Ontario) waters 530 feet (88 fathoms; 160 m) deep, about 17 miles (15 nautical miles; 27 kilometers) from Whitefish Bay near the twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario—a distance Edmund Fitzgerald could have covered in just over an hour at her top speed.
Edmund Fitzgerald previously reported being in significant difficulty to Arthur M. Anderson: "I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I've ever been in." However, no distress signals were sent before she sank; Captain McSorley's last (7:10 P.M.) message to Arthur M. Anderson was, "We are holding our own." Her crew of 29 perished, and no bodies were recovered. The exact cause of the sinking remains unknown, though many books, studies, and expeditions have examined it. Edmund Fitzgerald may have been swamped, suffered structural failure or topside damage, experienced shoaling, or suffered from a combination of these.
The disaster is one of the best-known in the history of Great Lakes shipping. Gordon Lightfoot made it the subject of his 1976 hit song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" after reading an article, "The Cruelest Month", in the November 24, 1975, issue of Newsweek. The sinking led to changes in Great Lakes shipping regulations and practices that included mandatory survival suits, depth finders, positioning systems, increased freeboard, and more frequent inspection of vessels.

The Terrible Sinking of the SS Arctic | Disaster Documentary
It was the Titanic disaster of its day. Hundreds of people perished in the water. It created quite a stir in late nineteenth-century America. As not a single woman or child was saved. Many of the male survivors were really crew members, rather than passengers. New York society was furious. Hungry for details and lurid accounts about the disaster, the tragedy fueled one of the first newspaper wars in the city. But now the tale of the S.S. Arctic's demise has been swept away by the currents of time.
…
On September 27, 1854, some fifty miles off the coast of Newfoundland, the paddle steamer SS Arctic, owned by the Collins Line of New York, sunk after colliding with the considerably smaller SS Vesta. Passenger and crew records suggest there were more than 200 on board, but just 88, almost all crew members, made it out alive.
Between 250 and 300 passengers including at least 100 women and children and around 150 crew members boarded the Arctic in Liverpool about lunchtime on September 20, 1854, and set sail for New York.
Among them was Mrs. Edward Collins, wife of the American shipping magnate, was on board with her daughter and son, of 19 and 15, as well as her brother and his wife. Another party was formed by members of the Brown banking family: William Benedict Brown, son of the bank's president, was accompanied by his wife Clara, their two infant children, and two of William's sisters. And Captain Luce's 11-year-old son William Robert… who had a disability that the captain hoped would improve on the round journey.
On the morning of September 21st, Arctic sailed past Cape Clear, Ireland's southernmost point, and out into the wide Atlantic, nearing her top speed of 13 knots. Unfazed by the calm seas, she made swift progress and by early on September 27 had arrived at the Grand Banks, off the coast of Newfoundland.
The ship was around 80 km southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland, as of midday on September 27 according to Luce's calculations. Soon after, Arctic disappeared into the fog… the lookout saw out the shadow of a steamer coming in at a speed of around 10 knots.
The officer of the watch sounded the alarm, signaling the engine room to stop forward motion and change course. But it was too late… the Arctic was hit by the oncoming steamer on the starboard side, between the bow and the paddle wheel, just as the captain was receiving the warning of the incoming ship in the chatroom. Captain Luce felt his ship was reasonably unharmed and most of the passengers felt the same way.
The French iron-hulled propeller-driven steamer SS Vesta that crashed with the Arctic had workers from a fishing company who were being transported to Saint Pierre Island, Newfoundland.

The Terrible Sinking of the SS Arctic | Disaster Documentary
It was the Titanic disaster of its day. Hundreds of people perished in the water. It created quite a stir in late nineteenth-century America. As not a single woman or child was saved. Many of the male survivors were really crew members, rather than passengers. New York society was furious. Hungry for details and lurid accounts about the disaster, the tragedy fueled one of the first newspaper wars in the city. But now the tale of the S.S. Arctic's demise has been swept away by the currents of time.
…
On September 27, 1854, some fifty miles off the coast of Newfoundland, the paddle steamer SS Arctic, owned by the Collins Line of New York, sunk after colliding with the considerably smaller SS Vesta. Passenger and crew records suggest there were more than 200 on board, but just 88, almost all crew members, made it out alive.
Between 250 and 300 passengers including at least 100 women and children and around 150 crew members boarded the Arctic in Liverpool about lunchtime on September 20, 1854, and set sail for New York.
Among them was Mrs. Edward Collins, wife of the American shipping magnate, was on board with her daughter and son, of 19 and 15, as well as her brother and his wife. Another party was formed by members of the Brown banking family: William Benedict Brown, son of the bank's president, was accompanied by his wife Clara, their two infant children, and two of William's sisters. And Captain Luce's 11-year-old son William Robert… who had a disability that the captain hoped would improve on the round journey.
