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.
