Storm toll rises as ships split and crews are rescued
In Michigan's Thumb region a passenger's distress call surfaced at 12:15 a.m. Tuesday as a storm split ships off Thunder Bay. The Nordmeer, aground since Nov. 19, sent eight crewmen to safety while the Morrell's captain Arthur Crawley is presumed dead. Coast Guard aircraft and cutters aided in searches, with the Mackinaw caring for rescued Nordmeer sailors after harboring the eight survivors. Nearby, the Bradley wreck from 1958 parallels the ferocity of the storm. The City of Midland 41 ferry was freed from a sandbar near Ludington after three days stranded.
