Howling Winds


Section Number : 64

« back to classes page

Mascots were fairly common on Great Lakes ships, and the animal of choice was a dog. Ric Mixter chronicles some of the most famous storms and the canines that made it through.  LC Waldo's bulldog in the 1913 Storm, and the pets of the captain and cook rode 20 miles in a lifeboat in the 1913 Storm. Soogie, the Coast Guard dog, rode through the same storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald!  The recent discovery of the Huronton also brings to the surface the legend of the ship's dog by a man who survived over a dozen shipwrecks.
