George Morley Wreck Evanston Illinois
Loading...
Uploaded by dlent1 on Jul 17, 2007
This wreck lies in 12 feet of water, right off Greenwood beach.
In Capt. Dale's words (and I quote):
The Wreck off of Evanston Beach is the freighter, George Morley. She was a wooden steamer, nearly 200 feet long that caught fire while underway south for Chicago in 1907. She put in at the Greenwood Street Pier and the Evanston Fire Department was summoned. The firemans' hoses were not long enough, however, and the fire rapidly got out of control. All hands were evacuated and George Morley was pushed away from the pier. She burned to the waterline and sank.
