History edit
The Success was built by Norwegian immigrant Julius Johnson in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1875. The vessel primarily hauled lumber on Lake Michigan.[2]
On Thanksgiving of 1896, the ship was anchored at Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin in an attempt to wait out a storm. However, it began taking on water and was eventually pushed ashore by a gale. All crew members were rescued and the cargo would be salvaged, but the ship was declared to be a total loss.
The site was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[3]
