This program tells the story of the SS Howard S. Hanna Jr. and the other ships from the same fleet during the Great Storm of 1913. All but one was lost in this storm, which was the deadliest natural disaster in Great Lakes history. This storm led to the sinking of 19 ships and the loss of more than 250 men. Winds exceeding hurricane force occurred over four of the Great Lakes during the storm.
Robert McGreevy, former Grosse Pointer and noted marine artist and author, presents this program as we approach the 110th anniversary of this rare meteorological condition. Learn more about McGreevy, as well as browse his art and books for purchase, at his website: https://www.mcgreevy.com/.
