Miztec (schooner barge)
The ''Miztec'' was built as a 3-masted schooner in 1890. She was later converted to a barge and served as a consort for lumber hookers on the Great Lakes. She escaped destruction in a severe 1919 storm that sank her longtime companion, the SS ''Myron'', only to sink on the traditional day of bad luck, Friday the 13th, 1921, with the loss of all hands. She came to rest on Lake Superior’s bottom off Whitefish Point near the ''Myron''.
The ''Miztec’s'' wreck was illegally salvaged in the 1980s. Artifacts from the ''Miztec'' became the property of the State of Michigan after they were seized in a 1992 Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) raid on the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. The State allows the museum to hold a triple sheave block and hook and a double sheave block and hook from the ''Miztec'' as a loan. Her wreck is now protected by the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve as part of an underwater museum.
==Career==
The 194 foot wooden ''Miztec'' was built as a 3-masted schooner in 1890 in Marine City, Michigan. She was enrolled at Port Huron, Michigan on 8 April 1890. On 3 May 1890 she ran ashore near Minorville, Wisconsin.〔Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Vessel Database.〕
The ''Miztec'' spent the final years of her career as an O.W. Blodgett Lumber Company barge consort towed by lumber hookers.〔Oleszewski, pp. 175, 180.〕〔Stonehouse, p 183.〕〔Boyer, pp. 140 -144.〕 She was stranded by her tow, the SS ''Myron'', off Vermilion Point in a severe November gale in 1919. She narrowly escaped total destruction and suffered heavy damage but survived the storm while the ''Myron'' did not.〔Oleszewski, pp. 175 – 177.〕 She was rebuilt in 1919.〔Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Vessel Database.〕
