SS Indiana (1848)

It served Lake Superior as a passenger ship and later became a transporter for iron ore after the opening of the Soo Locks.

During a storm, the boat started leaking near the propeller shaft, causing the ship to founder at Crisp Point Light on June 6, 1856.

It was carrying iron ore from Marquette, Michigan during the time of its accident.

The engine and related artifacts are held in the collection of the National Museum of American History.
