City of Bangor (ship)
The ''City of Bangor'' was a steamer on the Great Lakes during the early 20th century. Originally designed to carry ore, the ship was converted into an automobile carrier in 1925. It was with this type of cargo that she met her icy demise, on November 30, 1926.
==Sinking==
The ship was captained by William J. Mackin. With a relatively light load of 248 new Chryslers, compared with the heavier load of ore, she was riding high through rough winds and seas approaching Keweenaw Peninsula, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, on Lake Superior. A furious storm was raking across the lake, and another vessel, the ''Thomas Maytham'', had already wrecked at Point Isabelle, and was seeking shelter on the south side of the Point when the ''City of Bangor'' passed by. Great seas washed over her deck, proving her small engines useless against the storm. Several of the automobiles were carried away by the sweeping waves.
