Notas históricas

On September 7, 1902 this vessel was wrecked in a storm at Glen Island Alaska, 35 miles NE of False Pass near Izembek. One crew member was left behind as a caretaker of the wreck while the others left in the ship's boat to find rescue. The caretaker froze to death while the rest of the crew reached civilization. Sand built up around the wreck until eventually it was more than a mile from the ocean.
