[TenTec] Another famous ship wreck

[John Bescher]

Joe,


1958, that's when I heard the search for the missing freighter.  Thanks for the info on Carl D. Bradley, that must have been the stricken ship in the search.  I often wondered what ship it was.  At the time I made a notation in my "log" but over the years, the logs disappeared.  Thanks.


John, N4DXI

Hi Duane,
The Carl D. Bradley went down in Lake Michigan on Nov 18th, 1958. Some  
years ago, I got to meet the lone survivor at a hall of fame induction ceremony 
 at the Great Lakes Lore museum in Rogers City, MI. There were actually two 
who  survived the wreck but one died in '70.

Of course "The Fitz" had the most prominent display in the museum.
