The “white hurricane” storm of November 1913 was the worst weather event ever to hit the Great Lakes. More than 250 sailors died, and a dozen ships vanished, sinking with their entire crews. During a lull in the storm, the big steel freighter Henry B. Smith set sail from Marquette, never to be seen again for a hundred years. Today, author and local historian Dan Fountain shares historical photos and unique underwater video and sonar imagery of this historic local shipwreck.
