The Lumberman was a 3-masted schooner that sank in 1893 in Lake Michigan off the coast of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, United States.
[1] The Lumberman was built in 1862 in the shipyard of Allyne Litchfield at Blendon's Landing, Michigan.
For thirty years, she carried forest products like lumber, bark and shingles from logging outposts on the shores of Lake Michigan to markets like Chicago.
[2][3] On April 6, 1893, heading from Chicago to Whitefish Bay to pick up a load of ties, the vessel sank in a fast-moving storm.
[2] She lies in 53 to 70 feet (16 to 21 m) of water, roughly 10 miles (16 km) north of Wind Point.
