SS Erie L. Hackley
SS Erie L. Hackley was a passenger and cargo ship that operated in Lake Michigan from 1882 to 1903.[4] On 2 August 1902, the Hackley broke its shaft near North Manitou Island, and had to be towed to port.[5] In the spring of 1903, the Hackley was purchased by Captain Joseph Vorous and three other men, becoming part of the Fish Creek Transportation Company.[3] Fifteen minutes after departing, the Erie L. Hackley was just north of Green Island when a sudden storm blew up.[3] The tugboats Leona R. and Pilgrim attempted to locate the wreck of the Hackley by dragging a chain.
