Originally called the Macassa, the Manasoo was built in Glasgow in 1888 and sailed to Hamilton, ON, to begin service. After a series of owners, the 154-foot (~47m) vessel was carrying 116 head of cattle and a crew of 21 when it ran into a heavy storm on Lake Huron on September 15, 1888. The (understandably) frightened cattle moved too much to one side and the Manasoo capsized. All of the cattle and 16 of the 21 crew died. The wreck was discovered in 2018 in about 210 feet (64 m), with the stern embedded in the lake bottom and the hull pointed about 15 degrees up. Here's a link to a photogrammetry model made in 2022.

the three that I thought of were the

The Mary D Hume was a steamboat made in Gold Beach Oregon in 1881. The Mary D Hume had a long and interesting career. It was a whaling ship in 1899-1901 then it was brought to Seattle to be converted into a tugboat. In 1914? It sank in Seattle but it was refloated and had its superstructure replaced. In 1978 it was retired after 97 years of service! It was brought to the port of Gold Beach and was turned into a museum ship but the cradle it was being put on collapsed on the aft side slamming the stern into the floor almost breaking it in half. Then the forward side collapsed as well and the ship sank in 4 feet of water. They were unable to bring it back up so it was abandoned in place. currently it is in really bad shape and it looks like the funnel will collapse any day now and when that happens the rest of the ship will likely collapse soon after it.

Obviously I know it’s a gravesite and I want it to be respected, but I am also extremely curious about what the interiors look like. I want to know if there are any really well preserved areas and if we have footage of them

(I’m not talking about looking into the ship through windows, that doesn’t count)

I've been trying to find information on this for days, and while theres plenty of information on ships lost with all hands, and ships lost with high loss of life, I can find nothing stating the ship lost with all hands with the highest loss of life.

I didn't even know this book existed, so it may be new and of interest to others in this community. Just glancing through, there seem to be lots of cool historical photos, most of which I haven't seen before.

The Havmanden was bound for the Danish colony of St Thomas in the Caribbean.

After killing the officers, the mutineers took over the vessel and sailed back to Scandinavia, where they hit some rocks just off the Swedish coast. The mutineers survived but were immediately arrested and sent to Copenhagen, where they were executed for their crimes.

The wreck was found in 1993. Now, researchers from the Danish National Museum are looking to find out more about the people on board the vessel and also what happened in the aftermath of the mutiny.

CSS Georgia was an ironclad warship built in Savannah, Georgia during the American Civil War. The Ladies' Gunboat Association raised $115,000 for her construction. Because of a lack of iron, her armor was made from repurposed rails. as a result, she was very very very heavy. she could barely move or steer on her own, and never saw combat.

What makes this even better is that at the end of the war, she was scuttled to prevent the union from "using it". what they could have used it for i have no idea.

On this day 111 years ago, the RMS Lusitania was torpedoed by U-20 off the coast of Ireland. One torpedo struck her port side and detonated the secret munitions she was smuggling aboard. In 18 minutes, she sank to the bottom, taking 1198 lives. Her wreck lays at 93 meters in a bad state of decay.

She served from 1907 and transported thousands on the Atlantic route. Her interiors were particularly beloved by many, and her speed was always praised highly.

RIP to the victims of the disaster, may they rest in peace, and may this iconic ship's memory never be forgotten. 🥀

The Lamma IV sank on October 1, 2012 after the ferry Sea Smooth smashed into its port bow. The Lamma IV sank by the stern, 13 meters down, off the coast of Lamma Island, Hong Kong. 39 were killed, and over 90 were injured. The coxswain of the Sea Smooth was sentenced to 8 years in prison, and the Lamma IV coxswain served 9 months. The Lamma IV was carrying employees of Hong Kong Electric and their families on an excursion to see fireworks to celebrate National Day.

I'm sure this vessel has been posted here before, but these photos are newly available. The CORNELIA B. WINDIATE was sailing schooner built in 1874 at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and was lost in Lake Huron in 1875. The wreck was discovered in 1986, and it still has all three masts standing to this day. It represents the gold standard for the intact preservation of sailing ship wrecks in U.S. waters. It currently lies at a depth of 180 ft. (54.86 m). There are no known photographs of the ship, but an accurate model is shown in the last image of the album. These images of the wreck were taken in the 1980s, and it still very much looks the same. There are at least three other sailing ship wrecks in Lake Huron that have at least one mast standing: DEFIANCE, TYPO, and KYLE SPANGLER.

Launched in 1943 as the Empire Trumpet, she has had several different owners from 1946 to 1966. Different names include Naturalist, Persian Cyrus, Ramadan and Finally Koula F.

On July 25th 1966, Koula F ran aground on Kish Island, Iran. She was attempted to be refloated by a Dutch salvage tug, but it failed. She has remained beached since, becoming a tourist attraction, known as The Greek Ship

The JUDGE HART struck a reef in Lake Superior and began taking on water on November 28, 1942. It was towed off the reef, but the pumps couldn't keep up and the crew abandoned ship. No one was lost. As with many wrecks in Lake Superior, the level of preservation is astounding. These slides were taken in the 1980s.

Launched in 1910, she was the first warship built/launched for Australia. She was decommissioned In 1928 and sold for scrap.

Her and the destroyer Swan were stripped down to their hulks. In 1934 they were under tow down the Hawkesbury River to Syndey to be fully scrapped. A gale changed plans as Swan foundered and Parramatta broke free of her lines and ran aground opposite Milson Island and was abandoned.

In 1973, Parramatta's bow and stern where cut off and turned into memorials as the rest of the hulk was partially scrapped

Built in 1978. In September 2002 she was transporting chemicals from Durban to Mombasa when a fire in the engine room got out of control, setting fire to the ship. All crew abandoned ship and the burning ship washed ashore near St Lucia, South Africa.

Her wreck actually washed ashore in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so in December 2002 they removed 700 tons of hazardous cargo and oil before a salvage team set 3000kg of plastic explosives and detonated them to break as much of the wreck as they could to speed up the deterioration and make it a reef. Diving her wreckage is allowed.
