SS Kaliyuga
The SS ''Kaliyuga'' was a steamship that sank with the loss of 16 lives on Lake Huron on the night of October 19/20, 1905.
== History ==
Built in St. Clair, Michigan in 1887, the SS ''Kaliyuga'' was a wooden steamship, built primarily to haul iron ore. It had a length of 269 ft, a width of 40 ft, and weighed 1941 tons. It was named for the Kali Yuga in Hinduism, one translation of the term being "age of iron".
On August 4, 1900, the ''Kaliyuga'' was towing the barge ''Fontana'' into the St. Clair River from Lake Huron when, next to the Fort Gratiot Light, the ''Fontana'' was struck by the barge ''Santiago'', passing in the other direction under tow by the steamer . The ''Fontana'' sank within minutes, killing one of the crew.〔(Maritime History of the Great Lakes, Fontana (Schooner), U120713, sunk by collision, 4 Aug 1900 )〕
On November 4, 1900, the ''Kaliyuga'' ran aground in the Detroit River near Amherstburg, Ontario. It was pulled off on November 7 by the tugboats ''Wales'' and ''Balize,'' which started to tow the ship to Erie, Pennsylvania, but on November 8 it was forced to anchor in Lake Erie 30 miles north of Cleveland because of a storm and engine problems on the ''Balize''. With additional help from the tug ''Harvey D. Goulder'' it arrived in Erie on November 10.〔(''Windsor Evening Record'', Saturday November 10, 1900, pg 1 )〕
