Summary
| Description |
English: Description from NOAA: "The 436-foot long, 4,707-ton steel bulk freighter Lewis Woodruff was launched on August 5, 1905. Built by the American Shipbuilding Company in Lorain, Ohio, for Gilchrist Transportation Company of Cleveland, Woodruff was renamed Argus and sold to the Interlake Steamship Company in 1913. Under the command of Captain Paul Gutch,Argus headed north into Lake Huron during the storm with a load of coal. A little over 13 miles north of Point Aux Barques, Argus succumbed to the waves and went down with all of its 24 crewmen. Argus was discovered by diver Dick Race in 1972 upside down on the lake bottom in 250 feet of water."
