: I'm looking for any info that I can find for the Steamship Pere Marquette 8. I recently picked up a Photo album from 1901 that has a picture in it of the above ship up in the Milwaukee River. I remember reading about Pere Marquette line ships that had gone down, but wasn't sure if this may have been one of them. Would appreciate any info that you may have. Thanks.
The Pere Marquette 8 burned at the dock a few years after it was retired.
