Summary
| Description |
English: Description via NOAA: "Built in Dumbarton, Scotland by A. McMillian & Son, the Regina was a steel package freighter built for the Canada Steamship Lines and home ported in Montreal. Named after Regina, Saskatchewan, the ship was 269 feet long and registered 1,956 tons. On November 9th the Regina was heading north of Sombra, Ontario on Lake Huron when the storm hit. The ship made it to Point Aux Barques but strong head winds forced the ship to turn south. At Harbor Beach the Regina hit a shoal and the crew anchored the distressed vessel east of Lexington. A half hour later the ship capsized and sank, taking Captain Edward H. McConkey and 19 of his crew to the bottom of Lake Huron. NearPort Franks, Ontario, two bodies were found with a capsized lifeboat from Regina and another 10 bodies were found on the beach a short distance away. Sailors initially theorized that the Regina collided with the Charles S. Price, another ship sunk in the storm, as some of the bodies from the Price were apparently wearing lifebelts from the Regina." |
