Noquebay
The ''Noquebay'' was a wooden modified schooner that sank in Lake Superior off the coast of Stockton Island, in Chequamegon Bay. The wreckage site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Noquebay (Schooner-Barge) Shipwreck Site )〕
==History==
''Noquebay'' was built in 1872.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Service History )〕 Although originally built as a schooner, it was later modified for use as a towable barge for hauling lumber. The Noquebay, along with another ship named ''Mautenee'', was pulled by a Steamship named ''Lizzie Madden''. All three boats were owned by T.H. Madden, operator of the ''Madden Company''.
On October 3, 1905, the ''Comstock and Wilcox Company'' of Ashland, Wisconsin loaded the Noquebay with 600,000 feet of hemlock lumber.〔 There she waited six days for the Mautenee and Lizzie Madden to return from Duluth, Minnesota. On the morning of October 9, the three boats pulled away from nearby Bayfield, heading to Buffalo, New York to deliver their cargo. Shortly after their departure, a fire was discovered on the Noquebay. The fire apparently started in the room containing the donkey boiler.〔
Because the fire was too severe to extinguish, the crew threw some cargo overboard to save it, and jumped from the burning ship. Everyone successfully climbed safely aboard the ''Madden''. There was nothing the ''Madden'' could do but abandon the burning ship, and continue on the journey with the Mautenee. When they reached the Soo Locks at Sault Ste. Marie, they wired ahead to Buffalo, then contacted Ashland with the news.〔
