Penciled Plank: Last Words of the Lost SS Andaste

The note was written in pencil on a piece of wood and found floating on Lake Michigan on the morning of September 10, 1929 - three initials: A.L.A. The SS Andaste cleared Grand Haven harbor at 9:03 PM the night before with roughly 2,000 tons of aggregate; by dawn twenty-five men were gone and the wreck has never been found. What really happened between that harbor logbook and the penciled plank?

In this episode, we present the sequence of events, ship modifications, crew details, storm reports, and conflicting inquiries that surround the Andaste's loss to ask whether a pattern of refits or a single night's weather holds the answer.

Date: September 9-10, 1929
Location: Lake Michigan, cleared Grand Haven harbor at 9:03 PM
