Fire sinks steamboat on Great Lakes in tragic voyage
A steamship on the Great Lakes caught fire while near shore, forcing passengers to abandon ship. Despite life-preservers, many jumped overboard or perished as the vessel burned to the water’s edge. The Collina, valued at 100 and insured for 15,000, was owned by EB Ware and G F Bowle.
