Rescue Forces Still Seek Bodies After Lake Huron Disaster
Rescue teams combed the stormy Lake Huron area for the Morrell wreckage as 12 bodies were found and two or three may remain missing. The Bethlehem Steel freighter sank 2 miles from Harbor Beach after breaking apart in 145 feet of water during fierce winds and heavy snow. One survivor, deck watchman Dennis Hale, described lifeboat launches as the ship split. The tragedy, linked to a broader Great Lakes storm, mirrors past losses and follows the Nordmeer incident nearby in the same gale.
