: I am searching for any info on a ship that sank Nov. 21, 1887. My Great-great grandfather was the
: captain. His name was Wilhelm Eriksson and he was from Aland, Finland. I do not know the name
: of the ship or what the ship might have been carrying. Family history says the ship sank in Lake
: Michigan. Thank you for any information.
Do you happen to know what type of ship it was, or an approximate location (closest to which shore?)
