==History==
Originally called the ''City of Naples'', the ''Frank O'Connor'' was built in West Bay City, Michigan in 1892.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Service History )〕 The vessel was renamed in 1916.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Service History page 3 )〕
On September 29, 1919, the ''O'Connor'' left Buffalo, New York en route to Milwaukee, Wisconsin carrying 3,000 tons of coal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Voyage )〕 Three days later, she passed through the Straits of Mackinac and was expected to make port ahead of schedule. On October 3 at 4:00 p.m., a fire broke out in the bow. Roughly an hour later, the ship's steering gear was destroyed by the fire, leaving it drifting in the water about two miles off the coast of Cana Island. The keeper of the Cana Island Light had noticed the burning vessel from land and, along with his assistant, was able to tow the ''O'Connor''s crew on their lifeboats to shore. A portion of the ''Frank O'Connor''s cargo was later recovered, but the ship itself remained lost.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Voyage page 2 )〕
Despite the fire, most of the ''O'Connor''s machinery remained intact and upright, making it a popular archaeological and recreational site. The ship is owned by the State of Wisconsin and the site is managed by the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Today page 4 )〕 She lies in of water about off Cana Island.
