It was the deadliest storm to ever hit the Great Lakes ... the "Storm of the Century" ... and it tragically claimed more than 270 lives. The "White Hurricane" came with a blizzard and sent 12 ships to their watery graves in November of 1913. With blinding snow and 35-ft. waves, some vessels got caught in the "Big Blow", never to return to their loved ones. Beyond the immense tragedy left behind in the wake of the Great Storm, there were several eerie stories that came out on the other side. For instance, how did the Chief Engineer off the Charles S. Price wash ashore with an SS Regina lifejacket on? Or, how is it that John Thompson, a crew member on the James Carruthers, showed up at his own funeral? Who was the guy in the casket? Join me, the History Mystery Man, and Captain Darrell Walton as we share more incredible stories from the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. Thanks for your support!
