About Our Son
Our Son was a commercial schooner, launched in 1875, that carried freight on the Upper Great Lakes. By 1930, she was one of the last sail-powered vessels in Great Lakes revenue freight service. In September 1930, while carrying pulpwood to the Central Paper Company mill in Muskegon, Michigan, she was made helpless by storm winds. Without working sails and filling up with water, the schooner drifted about in central Lake Michigan until sighted by the lake carrier William Nelson.
