About this site
Erastus Corning is a 204’ Schooner that was stranded the 27th of May, 1889. This large schooner was outward bound from Escanaba loaded with iron ore when she ran aground on the west side of Poverty Island. The point at which she ran ashore is so steep that when the stern settled to the bottom, the bow was out of the water with the vessel almost standing on end. This wreck is buoyed on the southwest corner of Poverty Island in 40-60’ of water. It’s broken up but not scattered. There are lots of planking and ship parts to explore. This wreck also has great visibility; about 30-40’. Lies in about 15.2 m; sank 1889.
