About this site
In 1887 the Niagara was coming from Wisconsin with a cargo of iron ore in tow of the steamer Australasia. During a severe September gale the tow line broke. The Niagara slipped into the wave-troughs and shifted her iron ore cargo, capsized and sank. She was reportedly overloaded by about 250 tons. The nine member crew escaped the boat but were lost when her lifeboat capsized. The Niagara was located in 1972, the hull lying alongside a large pile of ore. Lies in about 30.5 m; sank 1887.
