The SS Regina was a cargo ship built for the Merchant Mutual Line and home ported in Montreal, Quebec.

Since found, she has become an active dive site for scuba divers and is now part of Michigan's underwater Preserve system.

[1] Regina was used as part of the package freight business by CSL, delivering a variety of cargoes to various ports along the Great Lakes.

Among the cargo included enough canned goods to fill eight railroad cars, 140 tons of baled hay and stacked atop the upper deck were sewer and gas pipes.

Failing to do that, he had ordered the ship anchored approximately 7 miles (11 km) east of Lexington, Michigan, close to shore and the lifeboats lowered.

The day following the storm - November 10, 1913 - a huge steel freighter was discovered floating bottom side up on Lake Huron.

Originally, people assumed this vessel was Regina, as the visible length seemed to correspond to the size of the missing freighter.

The front page of that day's Port Huron Times-Herald extra edition read, "BOAT IS PRICE — DIVER IS BAKER — SECRET KNOWN.

During a 1987 archaeological salvage expedition led by underwater archaeologist and shipwreck expert E. Lee Spence, tens of thousands of artifacts, including hundreds of intact bottles of still potable Scotch and champagne were recovered.
