I asked this on various Ship Lists and Wreck sites but no one could help me. I research old ships from the Great Lakes. One that stumps me is a wreck my Father always talked about. When he was a child living on Crescent Beach he would row out to the wreck of the John R, as he called it. It had to have been steam and also sitting upright because he said he could stand on the top of the stack. Before he died I asked just about where the wreck was and his answer from about half way between Crescent Beach and where the water and temperature monitoring station is behind Hutch's and about that far out. I don't find any registers for a ship called John R or a reported wreck of the same. Does anyone else remember this ship???
Thanks,
Peggy
