Description

James B. Colgate was a 308’ whaleback steamer that was built in Superior, Wisconsin in 1892.

The ship was lost in the Black Friday storm in 1916. The captain was the only one to survive the sinking. Currently the wreck lies upside down with wreckage to the north of the stern.

The wreck lies SW of Erieau, Ontario. Currents are sometimes strong both on the surface and at depth.
