Well we are way out of my area of specialization but I seem to recall that the Mormons have a substantial genealogical data base. You might try there. Unless you can come up with a ships name. There are a number of hudson river boats that went down in lake Erie. You can link to a number of shipwreck dada bases such as the Save Ontario Shipwrecks data base and try cross referencing by date but if we are looking at a shipwreck population of say 35,000 wrecks I think you can see the problem. Best of luck.

: Hi Scott,
: Thank you for your reply.
: I don't know the name of the ship, but I doubt it was the Hudson.
: I am doing genealogical research, and a fellow researcher mentioned reading about a possible relative dying when a Hudson riverboat sunk. She thought the date was July of 1853.
: I found this site, and was hoping someone here might have an answer.
: Would there be other websites I could check?
