• Salvaged stern from the steamer William C. Moreland in the Portage Ship Canal that had foundered on Sawtooth Reef near Eagle River on October 18, 1910. Picture date would be after tow into the Canal on September 1st, 1911. She laid beached in the Canal until towed out September 4th, 1912 by the Reid tug Manistique lashed to her side bound for Detroit. Note: the title Mooreland is misspelled, should be Moreland.
