Railroaded: The Wreck of the Schooner Plymouth In-Person
An unidentified shipwreck was located in 1996 by CLUE member Rob Ruetschle in Lake Erie, approximately 20 miles off Cleveland, Ohio. In 2013 CLUE re-visited and surveyed the shipwreck in the hopes of firmly identifying it. After extensive archival research and in-water survey work, it was determined to be the two-masted schooner Plymouth, which sank on the night of June 23, 1852, in a collision with the sidewheel steamer Northern Indiana. Not only is it an excellent “diver’s wreck,” but research has revealed a fascinating story about the steamer’s voyage, a U.S. President, and the development of early transportation in the United States. It is powerful story of government, commerce, and tragedy. Presented by Kevin Magee.
