T.HE MARINE RECORD. LAKE SUPERIOR IARI.Y KVKNT8—THE PORTAOB—STAN1KD HOCK—LIST OP D18A8TIUUI, 'facial Oeirrtipondenu e//A* Marittt JUeori. Dotboit, M«y 12. Rrgnrilino; the first nnvlgiulon of this fur' famed sheet of wntcr, there are many under the Impression that nothing of special In¬ terval transpired In that region until quite a rpcont'period, at least until within a few years prior to the opening and completion of the Sault canal. As early ng 180G the fur companies owned two or three icliponcrn tilut navigated thoso waters. A vessel called the Recovery, owned by the British Ijlonh- w.est Fur Company, wan employed for n short . period prior to the war of 1812. As soon ns It became evident that war between the two countries was at hiuid, aetrategem wiw re¬ sorted to to save her from capture. Shu was seoreted In a narrow buy on the north side ot'lale Rpyal anil stripped of her spars and covered with brushwood,' beside • Delng minkVhore shelny, until pence wiisdechircd. Somen here about the year 1830 she ulin raised and fitted nut, having been purchased by Captain John Fellows, of Fort Erie, Canada, ami Augustus Merwln, *f Cleve¬ land, Ohio. !-'he was run down the rnpldsol the Sault Sle. Marie, and employed in the ■ lumber trade on Luke Erie by Captain Fel¬ lows. In due courneoftlinc she succumbed to age and her bones-were beached at Fort Erie. Another vessel called the Mink was in commission on that lake before the war. She was also run down the rapids and after ward engaged In freighting by Captain ■ Tom Hammond, an officer who served un¬ der Commodore Perry, on Lake Erle,durlng the memorable engagement of September, 1813. She was finally sunk in the river Rouge, a few miles below Detroit. The third vessel from Luke Superior, and which was also run down the rapids, was the Fur TriulBiVwhtcti unfortunately wentto-pleces. From 1815 to 1822 Lake Superior was uitvl- tpte.tT by only one small vessel.- The timber frj[j n vessel, subsequently named the ABtor, wag-got out at Charleston, Ohio, in the fall of 1834, for the American Fur Com¬ pany, tier timbers and lit out were shipped to the HuuU in the following spring by t)ie late Oliver lifewberry, of Detroit. The tftn- . -bcr and plank was carried to the head ol the rapldB and put together. She was fin¬ ished In August and was sailed for La Points- by Captain Chan. C. Stunard, wh6 continued to command hexqnil 1812, when his broth¬ er, Captain Ben A. Stanard, took charge of her. She wan wrecked at Copper Harbor in 1844, where tier remains were visible for sometime aly ward.. In 1837 the Ameri¬ can Fur I'onipanybullt two other vessels of some twenty ioiib each, one of which, bow- ever, was never launched. The Madelluu was sailed by Captain Angus, in the fishing (rade. ! In 1833 the American Fur Company buijl the schooner Wm. Brewster,of 73 tons,'John Wood, master. Four years subsequently she was run down the rapids and employed on Lake Erie. In 1840 the fleet employed ' on <that lake was tlie steamer Julia Palmer, Capt. B. A. Stanard (the first steam craf: hauled over the Portage); the propeller In¬ dependence, Captain Avcrell,and the lollow- -ing rail craft: schooners Napoleon, Algon¬ quin, Swallow, Merchant, UmjIcTom, Chip¬ pewa, FurTrader,Slskawlt,and While Fbli. The steamer Julia Palmer -was lust In the' tall of 1847, at Two Heart river, laden'with supplies, In command of Caplulji John Wood. The Napoleon was tailed for a time by Cap¬ tain Joint McKay. The schooner Merchant was lost with nil on board In June, 1847, while in command ol Captain Robert Brown, latterly of the Swallow; J. Dyer, unite, of Gait, Canada West; David Ford, James Cruiner and James Clark, seamen, of Port Simla, Canada Weil; Isaac AUams,'ieamnur - and 'Willis Moore, colored cook, ol Detroit, and alto lhe following passengers; J. II. Woods and E. Gregory, of Pontine, Mich.; L. B. Smith iiud^Oeo. Howard, of Norwulk, Ohio, all of wjiom had been employed, by the Natlpnul^Minlng Co., arid- were on the way to Its .locution. Three others of the .passengers, names unknown, were lumber¬ men fsom Vermont, and had been at work at the L'Anse mills. A most distressing ; casualty happened to the propeller Iude- - pendence, at the Sault Ste. Marie, In No- vemberlrl&C8;by one of lhe worst explosions period. The Independence, at that was In command of Captain John Mc- and was freighted with winter sup¬ plies for Ontonagon and La Polnie. She had Jolt the dock at tho head of the Portngo at'nba'ui midnight of tho 21st, and hail pro- reeded about ft'- mllo when' the occurrence took place, which blew hqr into atoms with the exception of- about twenty-live feet of her bows, killing or scalding to deulh four persons, the tlrst engineer, one passenger and'two firemen, and badly scalding the second engineer and several passengers.' The first engineer was Georgo Slsson; Iho names o( others do not appear. The clerk, J W. Wittnciiu unil a Mr. Thomas, of Cleve¬ land, were blown 100 feet from tho boat into the wider, but wore rescued. ."The propeller was btillt in Chicago and was hauled over the Portage In 1847. and - was owned by Messrs. Mi'Knight and McKay. Among other steamers taken oyer the Por¬ tage was the propeller Manhattan, Captain John Caldwell, In 1860, which sunk on that hike In 1850; the propeller -Monticello In 1851, commanded by Captain J. Wilson, and lost tliat.sei.ion. The Baltimore was hauled over In 1852, and during her sojourn there was sailed by Captains Jack- Wilson and John Shook, respectively. She was a stde- wlicoler. The steamer Hum Ward and pro¬ peller Peninsula were taken over in 1853, the former commanded by Captain M. 11. Estabropks, the latter by H. J. Jones.' The first shipment of copper of any amount way in 1848. Stunard Rock was discovered by Captain C. C. Stunard, while sailing the schooner John Jacob Astor, In 1830. It is a solitary and dangerous bate rocky projection, rising out of the lake off the mouth of- Keweenaw liny, In the route of steamers on their way from Marquette to Copper Harbor, 05 miles. A Writer, in 1780, gives an account of a strange phenomenon which occurred during that year at Grand Portage; "The water withdrew, leaving the ground'dry which had never before been visible, the full being eqrlhl to four perpendicular Icet, and rush¬ ing back with great velocity above tho com¬ mon mark. It continued.thus rising and fulling for several hours, gradually de¬ creasing until 1| remained stationary at the nsual height." Prior to the opening-oMhe Suolteuiiul, In 1855,communication was kept upbetweou Detroit and the Sault by steam- «rs beginning in 1844, via Mutjklniiw, the steamer Detroit in 1840, which, with the Clininplon and Pacific, continued during 1847 and .1848; the steamer Ben Fran-kiln, Captain J. C. Benjamin, In 1840; tho North, enter, Captain B. G. Sweet, and London, Captain F. it. Baby In 18»I; the'same boats in 1852, the London bolngj.alled by Captain Wm. Watts. In 1853 tho Northerner, Cup tain Sweet, and London. Captain John Rob¬ ertson. The steamer Albany,Captain II. Jr Jones, made thirfy-ono trips to the Sault In 1853, and wait lost In the full of Ihafycar. Dur¬ ing tho season of 1854 the Northerner, (Jiip- tain John Stewart i-tlieK. K. Collins, Captain M. II. Estabrooks, und Illinois, Captain J. R. Howe, were on the route. This brings ns up to the season of 1855, when the canal mis open, nlid the steamer Illinois, Cuptiiln J. Wil¬ son was the tlrst bout to pirns through, since which period the rending public are pielty .well versed'ns In whiil bus tiHiispired. It bus been recoided within a shoit time past that the tlrst steaiii voyuges made to the Sault were llic "Superior, in 1822, and the same boat, subsequently, ut Intervals up to 1828.
