Introduction The LOUISIANA, a second generation bulk carrier, sank off the southeastern side of Washington Harbor, Washington Island, Wisconsin. Her stern lies in 18 feet of water while her bow is near the surface. The LOUISIANA sank during a November gale in 1913, while carrying a cargo of iron ore. At that time, a fire of unknown origin destroyed her superstructure prior to sinking. At present, the LOUISIANA consists of a largely intact hull, associated machinery, cargo, and other items of material culture (Figure 1) . Vessel History The LOUISIANA was built in 1887 in Marine City, Michigan at the yard of Morley and Hill (Figure 2). Her enrolled dimensions were 267.0 foot length, 39.6 beam, and 20.0 depth of hold, with a gross tonnage of 1,929 and a net tonnage of 1,383 (Bureau of Navigation 1912:232; Runge n.d.). She was screw-propelled, wooden-hulled, and was powered by a fore and aft compound (two cylinder) steam engine with cylinders of 26 and 48-inch diameter and a 40-inch stroke. The engine was built by Dry Dock Engine Works of Detroit in 1887 (Runge n.d.), and was rated at 610 indicated horsepower in 1912 (Bureau of Navigation 1912:232). Steam was provided by one firebox-type boiler 10' diameter by 15' 8" length, built at the Dry Dock Engine Works in 1887. Seven hatchways provided access to the hold (Runge n.d.) . The LOUISIANA was a refinement of the bulk carrier design first employed in the R.J. HACKETT and the first generation of forty-seven bulk carriers built between 1869 and the Panic of 1873. Bulk carrier construction resumed again in 1880, and LOUISIANA was part of this second generation of some 170 bulk freighters built during the 1880's. Size increased in the years between 1869 and 1902 (when the last wooden bulk freighters were built) from the HACKETT'S 210 foot length to later generation vessels of 310 foot length. This was made possible more due to channel improvements to the St. Mary's and Detroit Rivers, as well as the St. Clair Flats, than in improvements in shipbuilding techniques. From this point on, iron and steel became the dominant shipbuilding X see continuation sheet NPS FORM 10-900a (Rev. 8-86) Wisconsin Word Processor Format Approved 2/87 United States Department of Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Steamer Louisiana Lake Michigan Section number 7 Page 1 Door County, W i . materials for bulk carriers, permitting greater lengths, superior longitudinal reinforcement, and lower deadweight in relation to vessel size (Labadie and Murphy 1987:58-59). Following twenty-six years service as a bulk freighter, the LOUISIANA was lost in the large November gale of 1913 on Lake Michigan. At that time she was owned by Frank M. Osborne, home port of Cleveland, and under command of Capt. Fred McDonald. The LOUISIANA departed Lorain, Ohio on November 2 with a load of coal for Milwaukee, which she delivered and departed light for Escanaba, Michigan for a cargo of iron ore. A heavy northwest snowstorm struck the LOUISIANA around midnight of November 8, forcing the steamer to take refuge in Washington Harbor, Washington Island, enroute to Escanaba via Death's Door. The combined heavy winds and seas, reportedly exceeding seventy miles per hour, caused the anchors to drag and pushed the steamer perilously close to shore. By morning, a fire of unknown origin was discovered in the hold, and after a fruitless firefighting effort, the crew of seventeen men abandoned the ship to the fire and the storm. The Plum Island lifesaving crew appeared on the scene after bringing their beach apparatus overland, but nothing further could be done, the steamer crew having already taken to the lifeboats. The LOUISIANA burned where she lay, driven up against the rocky southeast shore of Washington Harbor. The gale which destroyed the LOUISIANA blew unabated until the night of November 11, wrecking a reported twenty Great Lakes vessels, damaging seventy-one other ships, and drowning 248 sailors (Door County Advocate 11/11/1913 p.l,c.2; Frederickson and Frederickson 1961:1:63-64). Site Description The wreck of the LOUISIANA lies on the southeast side of Washington Harbor (Figure 3), with her stern in eighteen feet of water, and her bow running almost up to the water's surface. A disarticulated sixteen-foot section of the bow, including cant frames, stempost, bow deadwood, and keelsons, lies exposed on the rocky beach, approximately one-hundred feet to the south of the site (Figure 4). A surviving 239' 6" of the bilge lies on a gradually sloping rocky bottom, flanked by charred and broken pieces of the vessel's sides, machinery, sheet metal, and fastenings. The hull is broken off at the turn of the bilge at the bow (inshore) end, but survives to a height of approximately thirteen feet (keelson to frame tops) at the port and starboard stern quarters. A large debris field of fallen sides and machinery is situated at the starboard quarter, much of this material leading off into deeper water NPS FORM 10-900a (Rev. 8-86) Wisconsin Word Processor Format Approved 2/87 United States Department of Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Steamer Loiusiana Lake Michigan Section number 7 Page 2 Door County, W i . to the northwest. The engine and boiler have been salvaged, but many miscellaneous engineering components such as bearings, pipes, and sheet metal surround the iron engine mount and broken fore and aft cylinders in the stern.

  • Chapter 3, Historical and Cultural Resources
    Door County Comprehensive and Farmland Preservation Plan 2035: Volume II, Resource Report CHAPTER 3: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 16 | Chapter 3: Historical and Cultural Resources Door County Comprehensive and Farmland Preservation Plan 2035: Volume II, Resource Report INTRODUCTION This chapter begins by briefly discussing Door County’s “community character,” which is intertwined with many of the county’s historical and cultural resources. It then provides a brief history of the county’s residents and its development, followed by an inventory of the historical resources in Door County. Included are discussion of the county’s historical associations; the area’s maritime history and maritime museums, lighthouses, and shipwrecks; general museums; archaeological sites; sites on the state and/or federal historic registries; and cemeteries. Finally, this chapter provides an inventory of cultural resources, such as cultural organizations, educational and cultural opportunities, visual and performing arts groups and venues, and festivals. COMMUNITY CHARACTER Community character is defined by a variety of sometimes intangible factors, including the people living in the area, the visual character of the area, and the quality of life and experiences offered to residents and visitors. Door County’s community character was ranked as either the county’s highest or second- highest asset during the public input exercises conducted at the county-wide visioning sessions held between 2006 and 2007. As is evidenced by the lists below of responses from residents at those visioning meetings, all aspects of community character – the people, the visual attributes, and the general quality of life as well as the county’s specific historical and cultural resources – define or exemplify life in Door County.

    Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary Designation Final Environmental Impact Statement and Final Management Plan June 2020 | sanctuaries.noaa.gov/wisconsin/ U.S. Department of Commerce Wilbur Ross, Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Neil A. Jacobs, Ph.D. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Environmental Observation and Prediction National Ocean Service Nicole LeBoeuf, Assistant Administrator (Acting) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries John Armor, Director Cover Photos: (top) The schooner Walter B.

Photos: (top) Tamara Thomsen/Wisconsin Historical Society; (bottom) Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory ABSTRACT In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. § 1431 et seq.), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) that analyzes alternatives for the proposed designation of an area of Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan as a national marine sanctuary. This action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. NOAA has developed five alternatives for the sanctuary designation, and this FEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each alternative under NEPA. The FEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas analyzed in the alternatives.

  • South Dakota State Historical Society Markers
    South Dakota State Historical Society Markers Compiled by C.B. Nelson The official South Dakota State Historical Society (SDSHS) marker program began in 1950. State Historian Doane Robinson created the program to erect markers at significant historical locations across the state. At this time, the SDSHS was a public organization and not an official part of state government. Contributions from the SDSHS funded the first markers. Robinson and interested members of the SDSHS identified potential sites and then raised money for the markers. Interested members contributed money both for specific markers and also for those to be purchased at Robinson’s discretion. Funding for these early markers was often a cooperative effort between the SDSHS and interested groups. The Department of Transportation, through its Publicity Division (forerunner of the Department of Tourism), often contributed to the erection of these markers along state highways. State Historian Will Robinson (son of Doane) continued the program reaching out to many local historical societies and civic groups who raised money to purchase markers in their communities. When the SDSHS became a part of state government, the program continued to purchase markers through donations. The marker program has always, and continues to be, primarily funded through private donations with very limited state funds expended on the program.
