  • The Wrong Preserver: How One Vest Haunted a Deadly Storm

    The Wrong Preserver: How One Vest Haunted a Deadly Storm

    The Wrong Preserver: How One Vest Haunted a Deadly Storm

    A single life preserver stamped REGINA washed ashore with a dead man from the Charles S. Price after the Great Lakes Storm of 1913, even though the Regina was a different ship lost the same weekend; how did one vest end up on another ship's chief engineer and what did it mean for the disaster's official story? Who, if anyone, could explain the crossing of gear amid a storm that erased a generation of lake sailors?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events surrounding the Charles S. Price, the Regina, and the man found wearing the wrong life preserver, covering the ship departures, storm conditions, recoveries, and the decades-long search for answers - could one artifact rewrite what happened that November?

    Person: John Groundwater
    Ship: Charles S. Price
    Date: November 8-10, 1913
    Cargo: 9,000 tons of coal
    Witness sighting: H.B. Hawgood on November 9

    - The Charles S. Price departed Ashtabula, Ohio on November 8, 1913 with a crew of 28.
    - The Price measured 504 feet long, 54 feet wide, 30 feet deep, and displaced 6,372 gross tons.
    - Waves during the storm were estimated at up to 38 feet with sustained hurricane-force winds.
    - John Groundwater, chief engineer of the Charles S. Price, was recovered on November 10 wearing a life preserver stenciled REGINA.
    - The life preserver's ship, the Regina, was also lost with all hands on the same stretch of Lake Huron that weekend.

  • Upside-Down and Lost: The Argus Vanished in the 1913 Lake Huron Storm

    Upside-Down and Lost: The Argus Vanished in the 1913 Lake Huron Storm

    Upside-Down and Lost: The Argus Vanished in the 1913 Lake Huron Storm

    A single November weekend in 1913 swallowed eight ships on Lake Huron and left one wreck upside down on the bottom for fifty-nine years; the Argus lay two hundred and thirty feet deep with no survivor, no final radio call, and a crew whose number was never officially recorded. How did a modern steel freighter built for seven thousand long tons end up inverted on the lake floor, and why were the men aboard reduced to twenty-five-dollar recovery bounties?

    In this episode, we recount the Argus's construction, her string of early accidents, the sale and renaming that preceded her last voyage, and the storm conditions that night - ending on the unresolved question of how her design and history might explain an upside-down wreck.

    Person: Captain Paul Gutch
    Date: November 1913
    Location: Lake Huron, north of Point Aux Barques
    Event: Great Lakes storm that sank eight vessels on Lake Huron
    Status: Wreck found upside down at 230 feet in 1972

    - Built: August 5, 1903 at American Ship Building Company, yard number 326
    - Length: 436 feet, steel hull with longitudinal framing
    - Engine: 1,480 indicated horsepower triple-expansion steam engine with two Scotch boilers at 170 psi
    - Cargo capacity: roughly 7,000 long tons across four compartments
    - Construction cost: $275,000

  • A Mine, A Hole, and 680,000 Gallons: How USS Noxubee Survived

    A Mine, A Hole, and 680,000 Gallons: How USS Noxubee Survived

    A Mine, A Hole, and 680,000 Gallons: How USS Noxubee Survived

    A gasoline tanker carrying 680,000 gallons of fuel was left with a three-foot-wide, five-foot-tall hole below the waterline and still did not sink - every sailor walked away. How did a Patapsco-class AOG survive a mine strike on the Cửa Việt River in 1969 with that much volatile cargo on board?

    In this episode, we follow the USS Noxubee from her keel laying in Savage, Minnesota to the mine detonation in South Vietnam and through the surprising days that followed. We trace the ship’s design, voyages across three oceans, and the single moment that tested everything the crew and ship could endure: how did they keep a floating fuel depot afloat and its people safe?

    Person: Mrs. Wilbur F. Bagley
    Date: Keel laid November 17, 1944; Launched April 3, 1945; Commissioned October 19, 1945; Mine strike September 9, 1969
    Location: Cửa Việt River, South Vietnam
    Class: Patapsco-class gasoline tanker (AOG-56)

    - Ship capacity: 680,000 gallons of aviation fuel and diesel
    - Ship displacement when full: 4,160 tons
    - Ship length: 310 feet from bow to stern
    - Mine damage: a hole 3 feet wide and 5 feet tall below the waterline
    - 100% survival: every man aboard walked away after the explosion
