The SS Wexford was a steel hulled, propeller driven bulk freighter built by Doxford, Williams & Sons, Ltd. at Sunderland, Great Britain in 1883. The ship was lost on Lake Huron with all hands on November 9, 1913 during the Great Lakes storm of 1913. Sources cite conflicting numbers for crew lost with 17 to 24 crew being listed. Her cargo at the time of loss was steel rails. The wreck was discovered August 25, 2000 sitting intact and upright in 75 feet of water on the lake bottom, 14 km north-west of Grand Bend, Ontario.
