[1] On 28, November 1905, Edenborn was towing the barge Madeira, when both vessels were caught in a fierce storm with winds that had a speed of up to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h).

The captain of Edenborn feared the loss of his crew, and his ship and made the decision to cut Madeira loose.

Two days later the tug Edna G rescued the stranded crew members of Madeira.

On that same day Edenborn ran aground and broke in two near Split Rock.

She served until 1962 when she was decommissioned, stripped, and sunk as a breakwater at Cleveland, Ohio.
