Description
The steamer "Wexford" charmed spectators as it carried cargo across the Great Lakes. The Wexford's fateful final voyage was punctuated with opportunities to be saved, but attempts to make port led to tragedy. Paul Carroll traces the steamer's history here, as well as the controversy over how the wreck should be protected.
