'''SS ''Russia''''' was an iron-hulled [[United States|American]] [[Great Lakes]] package [[cargo ship|freighter]] that sank in a [[Lake Huron]] gale on April 30, 1909, near [[DeTour Village, Michigan]], with all 22 of her crew and one passenger surviving.

''Russia'' was built in 1872 in [[Buffalo, New York]], by the King Iron Works, with the Gibson & Craig shipyard as the [[subcontractor]]. She was built for Charles Ensign of Buffalo and was operated as part of the Holt & Ensign Commercial Line, also of Buffalo. In 1884, after Ensign's death, ''Russia'' was sold for the first time. She would end up changing hands multiple times during her career.

In the evening of April 29, 1909, ''Russia'' left [[Alpena, Michigan]], with a cargo of [[cement]], wire fencing, [[galoshes]] and multiple barrels of dry goods, destined for [[Duluth, Minnesota]]. Around the time she passed [[Middle Island (Lake Huron)|Middle Island]], the breeze which had been following ''Russia'' since she left Alpena suddenly began to strengthen; the combination of the gale and her heavy deck load caused ''Russia'' to roll severely. An eventual lull in the storm convinced Captain John McLean to continue towards [[DeTour Village, Michigan|Point DeTour]], instead of turning back. However, ''Russia''{{'s}} cargo shifted, causing her to list to [[Port and starboard|port]]. Her crew began to move her cargo of cement in order to compensate for the list; after about two hours, she righted herself. However, ''Russia'' suddenly rolled over to port and then over to [[Port and starboard|starboard]]. Further efforts failed to counteract the list. Eventually, Captain McLean ordered the crew to throw the bags of cement into Lake Huron. When this effort to save ''Russia'' was also unsuccessful, Captain McLean gave the order to abandon her early in the morning of April 30. The crew and the one passenger boarded the lifeboats and rowed to the [[DeTour Reef Light]].

The wreck of ''Russia'' was discovered in {{convert|220|ft|m}} of water on July 23, 2019, over 110 years after she sank, by a team of shipwreck hunters led by Tom Farnquist of the [[Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum|Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society]].

==History==
In 1843, the gunship [[USS Michigan (1843)|USS ''Michigan'']], built in [[Erie, Pennsylvania]], became the first iron-hulled vessel built on the [[Great Lakes]].{{sfnp|Bugbee (1)|1962|p=24}} Beginning in the mid-1840s, Canadian companies began importing iron vessels, [[prefabricated]] by shipyards in the [[United Kingdom]]. However, it would not be until 1862 that the first iron-hulled merchant ship, [[SS Merchant|''Merchant'']], was built on the Great Lakes.{{sfnp|Bugbee (1)|1962|p=24}} Despite the success of ''Merchant'', wooden vessels remained preferable to iron ones until the 1880s, due to their inexpensiveness and the abundance of timber.{{sfnp|Bugbee (1)|1962|p=26}}{{sfnp|Bowlus|2010|p=85}}{{sfnp|Thompson|1994|p=32}} In the early 1880s, shipyards around the lakes began construction iron ships on a relatively large scale; in 1882, [[SS Onoko|''Onoko'']], an iron freighter, temporarily became the [[Queen of the Lakes|largest ship on the lakes]].{{sfnp|Thompson|1994|p=32}}{{sfnp|Bugbee (2)|1962|p=48}} In 1884, the first steel freighters were built on the Great Lakes, and by the 1890s, the majority of ships constructed on the lakes were made of steel.{{sfnp|Bugbee (2)|1962|p=49}}{{sfnp|Bugbee (2)|1962|p=51}}

===Design and construction===
''Russia'' (US official number 110063) was built in 1872 in [[Buffalo, New York]], by the King Iron Works, with the Gibson & Craig shipyard as the [[subcontractor]].{{sfnp|Toronto Marine Historical Society|1972}} She was built under the direction of master carpenter was David Bell.{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}} She was launched on August 20, 1872, as hull number #12.{{sfnp|Toronto Marine Historical Society|1993|p=12}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (2)|1872}} ''Russia'' was the third of five [[sister ship]]s built between 1872 and 1873. She was preceded in construction by ''Cuba'',{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (1)|1872}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (1)|2020}} ''Java''{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (2)|2020}} and was succeeded in construction by ''Scotia''{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (4)|2020}} and ''Arabia'', although, some sources do not acknowledge ''Arabia'' as one of ''Russia''{{'s}} sister ships.{{sfnp|Berry (1)|2020}}{{sfnp|Swayze|2001}}

''Russia''{{'s}} hull had an [[length overall|overall length]] of {{convert|246|ft|m}} and a [[length between perpendiculars]] of {{convert|231.58|ft|m}} (some sources state {{convert|231|ft|m}}, {{convert|231.7|ft|m}} or {{convert|232|ft|m}}).{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Swayze|2001}} Her beam was {{convert|35.58|ft|m}} (some sources state {{convert|35.6|ft|m}}, {{convert|35.7|ft|m}} or {{convert|36|ft|m}}) wide. Her hull was {{convert|13.35|ft|m}} (some sources state {{convert|13|ft|m}} or {{convert|13.3|ft|m}}) deep. ''Russia'' had a [[gross register tonnage]] of 1,501.77 (one source states 1,501 and another states 1,502) tons and a [[net register tonnage]] of 1,334.57 (one source states 1,335) tons.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N.

''Russia'' was powered by two, two-[[Cylinder (engine)|cylinder]] {{convert|600|hp|lk=on|abbr=on}} 72 [[rpm]] [[Steeple compound engine]]s; the cylinders of these engines were {{convert|20|in|cm}} and {{convert|40|in|cm}} in diameter, and had a [[Stroke (engine)|stroke]] of {{convert|36|in|cm}}.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (2)|1872}} Steam for the engines was produced by two {{convert|8|foot|m}} × {{convert|16|foot|m}} 75 [[pounds per square inch|psi]] [[Firebox (steam engine)|firebox boilers]].{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}} The engine and boilers were manufactured by the King Iron Works.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (1)|2020}} She was propelled by two fixed pitch propellers.{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Wrecksite|2017}}

''Russia''{{'s}} hull was made of iron only up to her upper deck. Her upper works were made of wood.{{sfnp|Toronto Marine Historical Society|1972}} She had double bottom ballast tanks, two [[watertight bulkhead]]s, a steel boilerhouse, two decks, cabins capable of accommodating up to 50 passengers, six cargo hatches and originally one, later two mast(s). She originally had two [[Funnel (ship)|funnels]].{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Brand|2019}} ''Russia'' had a cargo capacity of 100,000 [[bushels]].{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}

===Service history===
''Russia'' was built for Charles Ensign of [[Buffalo, New York]], and was operated as part of the Holt & Ensign Commercial Line, also of Buffalo. She received her first [[Ship registration|enrollment]] in Buffalo on August 26, 1872; her first home port was Buffalo.{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (2)|1872}} She originally ran between Buffalo, [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin]] and [[Chicago, Illinois]].{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}

On December (one source states November) 6/7, 1872, at around 9:00 A.M., while bound for Buffalo with a cargo of [[grain]], ''Russia'' struck a rock and sank at Bar Point, [[Lake Erie]], near [[Amherstburg, Ontario]]. She sustained severe bottom damage. On December 9, she was raised and towed to [[Detroit, Michigan]]. The total loss amounted to $69,000.{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (3)|1872}} In July 1873, ''Russia''{{'s}} machinery became disabled, causing $600 worth of damage. In August of that same year, ''Russia'' struck a boulder at Lime Kiln crossing in the [[Detroit River]], near Amherstburg.{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Balfour|2020}} She was repaired for $9,070. On September 12, 1873, while bound from Chicago for Buffalo with a cargo of [[wheat]], ''Russia'' collided with the steamer ''John A. Dix'' in the Detroit River, receiving $3,000 worth of damage. She was repaired when she reached Buffalo.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1873}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (5)|2020}} On February 1, 1874, ''Russia'' was damaged by [[freshet]] in Buffalo, sustaining $300 worth of damage.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (1)|1874}} On September 16, 1874, ''Russia'' ran aground in Buffalo Harbor opposite Central Wharf.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (2)|1874}} In November of that same year, ''Russia'' lost part of her rigging, including her [[gaff rig]], on [[Lake Erie]].{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (3)|1874}} In October 1876, ''Russia''{{'s}} machinery became disabled on Lake Erie.

In 1884, following the death of Charles Ensign, ''Russia'' was sold to James Ash of Buffalo (one source also gives several co-owners: P. P. Pratt, F. L. Danforth and G. B. Rich).{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}} In 1886, ''Russia'' ran between Buffalo and [[Green Bay, Wisconsin]].{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}} On June 1, 1886, ''Russia'' collided with and sank the schooner ''Thomas P. Sheldon'' in [[Lake George (Michigan–Ontario)|Lake George]]. The damage she sustained in the collision was repaired in Buffalo.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (1)|1886}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (2)|1886}} In 1888 (one source states 1890), ''Russia'' was sold to the Lackawanna Transportation Company of Buffalo, which was managed by Drake & Maytham. At this time, she ran between Lake Erie, Milwaukee and Chicago.{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}

On May 1/3, 1892, at around 6:00 P.M., while bound from Buffalo for Chicago with a cargo of [[coal]], ''Russia'' collided with the steamer ''Celtic'' in a dense [[fog]] about {{convert|15|mi|km}} off [[Rondeau Provincial Park|Rondeau, Ontario]]. ''Celtic'' struck ''Russia'' on her [[Port and starboard|port]] bow, near the waterline. ''Celtic'' sank in less than ten minutes, taking one of her crew of 18 with her. After rescuing ''Celtic''{{'s}} crew, ''Russia'' was beached to prevent her from sinking. She was raised, and with the help of the tug [[Balize (tug)|''Balize'']], made it to Buffalo where her coal was unloaded.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1892}} On June 5/9 1893, ''Russia'' ran aground on [[Beaver Island (Lake Michigan)|Beaver Island, Michigan]], in fog, and was eventually released.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}

On July 11, 1893, ''Russia'' was in Buffalo, loading a cargo of baled [[jute]], [[cloth|rags]], French [[clay]] and [[wood pulp]]. As the bales of jute were being loaded into her hold, two of the bales spontaneously combusted near the third [[Bulkhead (partition)|bulkhead]], just forward of the engine room.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}} When the crew members in the hold became aware of the fire, they rushed to the deck and gave the alarm.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (1)|1893}} ''Russia''{{'s}} [[fire hose]] was turned on in her hold, but failed to have much of an impact on the fire. ''Russia'' began warning other ships in the area of the fire using her whistle. By the time the [[fireboat]] ''John M. Hutchinson'' reached ''Russia'', the fire had already burned through two of ''Russia''{{'s}} decks, damaged her forward cabins and her engine room. ''John M. Hutchinson'' and several [[fire engine]]s began pumping water into her hold. By noon, after two hours of fighting the fire, ''Russia''{{'s}} hull had been filled with water, finally extinguishing the fire and causing her to list {{convert|18|ft|m}} to port. She was repaired in Buffalo, with the repairs costing $15,000.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (1)|1893}}

On July 31, 1893, as soon as ''Russia'' left drydock, she collided with the freighter ''Thomas W. Palmer''. Her bow made contact with ''Thomas W. Palmer''{{'s}} hull, damaging her aft upper works and breaking several [[stanchion]]s. ''Russia'' sustained no damage.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (2)|1893}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes (3)|1893}} On August 9, 1895/1896 (most sources state the 1895, but some also state 1896), ''Russia'' was upbound without cargo in the [[Detroit River]]. At around 4:00 P.M., she sighted the freighter ''Britannic'', which was downbound with a cargo of iron ore.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1895}} The vessels signaled each other, but just as they were about to pass each other, ''Britannic'' suddenly veered to port, putting her directly in ''Russia''{{'s}} path. The bow of ''Russia'' sliced into ''Britannic''{{'s}} hull, amidships on her starboard side. ''Britannic'' sank with the loss of one life into {{convert|30|ft|m}} of water off [[Wyandotte, Michigan]]; ''Russia'' had a hole punched in her bow and was eventually repaired in Buffalo.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1895}} Sometime in 1897, ''Russia'' became trapped in ice in [[Green Bay (Lake Michigan)|Green Bay]]. She was freed by the steamer ''Algomah''.{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}} On May 13, 1897, at 5:30 A.M. while downbound, ''Russia'' ran aground on [[Old Mackinac Point Light|Mackinac Point]] in dense fog. She was freed at 3:30 P.M. on the same day by the wrecking tug ''Favorite''.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1897}}[[File:Russia ship.jpg|200px|thumb|right|''Russia'' as she appeared in 1903{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}]]

In the summer of 1900, ''Russia'' was sold to the Lake Transit Company of [[Duluth, Minnesota]] (one source states Buffalo), managed by John J. McWilliams. Her home port was changed to Duluth.{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}} In 1905/1907, ''Russia'' was sold to the Port Huron & Duluth Steamship Company of either [[Port Huron, Michigan]], or Duluth. The company was owned and managed by Charles O. Duncan.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1909}}{{sfnp|Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library (3)|2020}}{{sfnp|Bowling Green State University|2010}}

===Final voyage===
On April 29, 1909, ''Russia'' was in [[Alpena, Michigan]], loading a cargo of 1,000 bags of [[cement]]. She was already loaded with two [[train car]]s filled with wire [[fence|fencing]], 1000 pairs of [[galoshes]], barrels of various dry goods and rumoured 1909 [[motorcycle]]s destined for [[Duluth, Minnesota]]. As she was loading her cargo, a steady breeze began to build.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}} In the evening of April 29, ''Russia'' left Alpena for Duluth under the command of Captain John McLean of [[Port Huron, Michigan]], for what was to be her first trip of the shipping season. As well as Captain McLean, there were 21 crewmen and one unidentified passenger onboard.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1909}}{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}} As ''Russia'' headed out into the open lake, towards the [[De Tour Passage Underwater Preserve|DeTour Passage]], the breeze began to strengthen. Around the time she passed [[Middle Island (Lake Huron)|Middle Island]], the breeze grew into strong gale. Due to the gale and her heavy deck load, ''Russia'' began to roll severely.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}} An eventual lull in the storm convinced Captain John to continue towards Point DeTour, instead of turning back. However, ''Russia''{{'s}} cargo shifted, causing her to list to [[Port and starboard|port]].{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1909}}{{sfnp|Brand|2019}} In order to counteract the list, ''Russia''{{'s}} crew began moving the {{convert|64|lb|kg|adj=on}} bags of cement. After about two hours of what Captain McLean described as "back-breaking labour", she righted herself. However, ''Russia'' suddenly rolled over to port, caught herself, and rolled over to [[Port and starboard|starboard]]. The crew once again tried to counteract the list, but this time they were unsuccessful.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}} After the fruitless efforts to counteract the list, Captain McLean ordered the crew to begin throwing the bags of cement into Lake Huron. When this effort to save ''Russia'' also failed, Captain McLean gave the order to abandon her early in the morning of April 30. The crew of 22 and the one passenger boarded the lifeboats, rowing {{convert|12|mi|km}} to the [[DeTour Point Light]].{{sfnp|Berry (2)|2020}}{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1909}}{{sfnp|Brand|2019}} The crew arrived back in [[Detroit, Michigan]] on May 2, 1909.{{sfnp|Maritime History of the Great Lakes|1909}}

==''Russia'' wreck==
===Discovery===
For several years, ''Russia'' was sought by shipwreck hunters. Paul Ehorn of [[Waukegan, Illinois]], spent twenty summers on [[Lake Huron]] trying to find her wreck. Although unsuccessful in finding ''Russia'', Ehorn managed to find the wreck of the [[schooner barge]] ''Celtic'', lost with all hands on November 29, 1902.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}

Tom Farnquist, founding member and Director [[Emeritus]] of the [[Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum|Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS)]] had had aspirations of locating ''Russia'' for several years, saying that she had "been on his bucket list since his late teens".{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}} Over the years, he had gathered several old newspaper accounts to help him track down her wreck.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}

In the winter of 2018/2019, Farnquist contacted veteran ship hunters Jerry Eliason and Ken Merryman (of [[Cloquet, Minnesota]], and [[Fridley, Minnesota]], respectively), requesting their assistance in finding ''Russia''{{'s}} wreck. Ehorn shared the [[GPS]] coordinates for the wreck of ''Celtic'' with Farnquist, helping significantly reduce the search area for ''Russia''.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}{{sfnp|Krueger|2020}} Farnquist, Eliason and Merryman set out to find her wreck in July 2019, beginning the search operations on July 22. On July 23, the second day of their search operations, they managed to locate the wreck of ''Russia'' in {{convert|220|ft|m}} of water, just outside the boundary of the 1,440 square mile (3,700&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) [[Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary]]. Ironically, ''Russia''{{'s}} wreck was discovered only {{convert|1200|ft|m}} from where Ehorn located the wreck of ''Celtic''.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}

Farnquist invited [[technical diving|technical divers]] John Janzen and John Scoles (of [[Madison, Wisconsin]] and [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]] respectively) to capture footage of her wreck.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}} Archaeologists from the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the [[Michigan Department of Natural Resources]] conducted sonar imaging of the wreck. The [[Michigan State Police]] were also invited to capture additional video footage of the wreck, using a [[Remotely operated vehicle|Remotely operated vehicle (ROV)]] to capture it.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}{{sfnp|Sault Ste. Marie Evening News|2019}}[[File:Russia wreck.jpg|thumb|[[Three-dimensional space|3D]] rendering of ''Russia''{{'}}s wreck]]

===''Russia'' today===
The wreck of ''Russia'' rests on an even keel in {{convert|220|ft|m}} of water near the [[De Tour Passage Underwater Preserve|De Tour Passage]], mostly intact. Her wooden cabins broke away when she sank, leaving only her steel aft cabins, boiler house and galley area intact.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}{{sfnp|Eliason|2019}} Her [[mizzen mast]] remains in place. There are dozens of unopened wooden crates stored below her decks which are visible through the exposed cargo hatches. Her wooden [[stock anchor]]s are still in place on her starboard bow. There is a large field of debris surrounding her wreck.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}

As the wreck of ''Russia'' rests in [[Michigan]] waters, all artefacts on board are the property of the state and as such cannot be brought to the surface without its permission.{{sfnp|Brand|2019}}{{sfnp|Della-Mattia|2019}}
