SS Emperor
The ''Emperor'' was a freighter built in 1910; it sank off the shore of Isle Royale in Lake Superior in 1947 and the remains are still on the lake bottom. The wreck was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.〔
==History==
The ''Emperor'' was constructed in 1910 by the Collingwood Shipbuilding Co. in Collingwood, Ontario, for the Inland Lines Ltd. of Midland, Ontario.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Superior Shipwrecks )〕 It was launched on December 17, 1910 and assigned registry number 126,654.〔 At 525 feet in length, it was the largest Canadian-built freighter ever built at the time of her launching. The ship had a beam of 56 feet in beam, a depth of 27 feet,〔 with 4641 registered tons and 7031 gross tons. It contained a 1,500 horsepower triple expansion steam engine with two Scotch boilers which powered the ship to a nominal speed of 10 knots.〔 The ''Emperor'' was built of steel, with an arch and web frame construction to provide an unobstructed cargo hold with hatches placed every 12 feet.〔 The pilothouse, captain's quarters, and mate's quarters were at the bow of the ship, and the crew's quarters and engine room were aft, with unobstructed deck space between.〔
Although launched in 1910, the ''Emperor'' did not begin its first voyage until April 1911.〔 On its first trip, the ship broke its main shaft in Thunder Bay, Ontario and had to be towed all the way to Detroit for repairs.〔 Also in 1911, the ship overrode its anchor while in the Soo locks, tearing a hole in the bottom and sinking the vessel.〔
In May, 1916, the ship was sold to the Canada Steamship Lines Ltd.〔 It was involved in some additional minor incidents, including groundings in 1926 and 1937, and the loss of a rudder in 1936.〔 including the death of a crew member who fell into the hold in 1918
