7  On the Canadian North Shore, the chances were small of a steamship grounding, or “being swamped” (foundering), or colliding with another vessel. On the other hand, stories are rife of damaged or lost steamships on the American North Shore and the Lake Superior South Shore. In 1875, the Manitoba, of the Beatty Line, survived a collision in Whitefish Bay, just west of the Soo. Ten lives were lost. This story is told in three sidebars in separate posts, No. 4-1, No. 4-2, and No. 4-3.
