The Carl D. Bradley
Posted in
Unspecified
Today is the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Carl D. Bradley that went down in Lake Huron during a horrific storm. Only two survived. Over twenty men from the tiny town of Rogers City were killed. The death toll was so large that a mass wake was held at the Rogers City High School, the same location that served as the site for the bell ringing ceremony tonight. The bell they rang was the actual ship's bell, recovered from the submerged wreck just about a year ago. A replica bell with the names of those who perished was installed on the ship by divers. Tonight the bell was rung again for the first time since the wreck. May they rest in peace.
