Engine-room telegraph frozen at "ahead" - ship found 102 years later, all 25 crew dead

The telegraph in the Hydrus's engine room still points to "ahead" after 102 years, a literal last order that 25 men never undid. What could have struck a 263-foot freighter so suddenly that not one crew member could change a single instrument?
In this episode, we tell the story of the steel freighter Hydrus from launch to loss, tracing her construction, ownership, cargo, crew and the deadly November storm that ended her voyage - and ask how a ship that had survived previous danger could be taken so fast.
Person: Elsie Schmidt
Date: November 7, 1913
Location: Lake Huron
Event: Discovery of wreck in 2015
Ship: Hydrus (built as Curry)
- The Hydrus measured 263 feet from stem to stern and had a capacity near 7,000 gross tons.
- Construction cost was $275,000 when she was built in September 1902 at the American Ship Building Company in Lorain, Ohio.
- Twenty-five crew members died when the Hydrus sank; none survived to move the engine-room telegraph.
- The hull lay broken on the lakebed with the bow twisted at a 45-degree angle when discovered.
- Divers found the wreck in 2015 with its ore cargo still in the holds.
