Francis Hinton | Wooden freight steamer | Stranded and broke up off Two Rivers | 16 Nov 1909 | FRANCIS HINTON ON THE ROCKS
CREW OF ELEVEN SAVED
Boat Goes on the Rocks Two Miles off Manitowoc
The Francis Hinton, a large lumber barge with a crew of eleven is on the rocks
two miles north of Manitowoc and is fast being pounded to pieces.
The Captain and his crew numbering eleven were rescued by the Two Rivers Life
Saving crew early today.
The Barge was in distress at Two Rivers and came near going ashore, but managed
to dodge the danger points until three miles this way when she went on the rocks
and in a short time the waves were washing over the craft and tearing away the
cargo. The crew managed to keep from drowning until the life savers arrived when
they were taken ashore.
The high sea gives poor prospect of saving the craft which is fast being wrecked.
The shore is lined with wreckate at this time, all believed to come from the
Francis Hinton.
The Francis Hinton is a Manitowoc built craft and at the time of the accident
was enroute from a Michigan port to Chicago with a cargo.
The Hinton is a boat of 397 tons, gross tonnage, and 273 tons net tonnage. She is
152.2 feet long, 30.9 feet wide, and 10.8 feet deep. She was in the freighting
service. The boat carried a crew of 11 men and her engines are capable of
developing 450 horsepower. She was built in 1889 in Manitowoc and is owned in
Chicago.
Sheboygan Press, November 16, 1909
******** There is plaque on Mariners Trail near the site where the ship Francis Hinton sunk. The article written on the metal plaque goes into some detail of what happened to the ship during a storm that torn the boat apart. The ship was built by the Jasper Hanson Shipyard at Manitowoc in 1889 under the direction of Captain Joseph Munger. He liked the ship so much that he sailed her until the ship was sold to a lumber firm. He then went to work for the Goodrich Line as a skipper. On the day of the disaster the Hinton was carrying a load of Norway pine from Manistique , Michigan. It was a stormy day and the ship bobbed and swayed from side to side caused by the windy condition and high sea. The Hinton was bound for Chicago but would only make it as far as Manitowoc that day, November 16, 1909. Captain Campbell was notified by the crew that the ship was taking on water. The captain fearing the worst ordered the men to drop the lifeboats. Campbell and his eleven crew members made it to shore safely. During this episode the hundreds of people watched the ordeal from the shoreline. (sent in by Wayne) |
