[@cookiemurderer4866]

One thing that's worth noting is that the Bannockburn had an identical sister ship called the "Rosemount" which is mostly forgotten. It wouldn't be very hard for a sailor to see her lights in a storm and assume that it was another ship. This may actually explain what the Huronics crew saw in the storm since I heard that the Rosemount was actually on the lake that night. The ship also had a long career and lasted until the late 1930's which would explain why sightings stopped eventually.

[@Thatguy-of5re]

Great Lakes historian Wes Olezsewski has shown that the two ships were so different looking from anything else on the Lakes at the time, but so similar to each other, they were frequently confused for each other by ship spotters when the Bannockburn was still floating.

Honestly comes down to the namesake. Last run of the season. Its always the worst weather hence the season end of operation. It was always and still to an extent is a time where profit pushers push their men to squeeze every penny they can out of the year. You end up with throwing caution to the wind and fighting storms you'd normally run from. Its no wonder you hear so many with the same story.

737 MAX is another clear example. Pound a square into a round hole to make something it’s not and disaster follows. That plane had hit its limit but to compete against a new airframe and Airbus company they used new Bigger engines that drastically altered center of gravity / thrust. That made it unstable in certain critical flight regimes. Solution, add an automatic safety system , MCAS, to stop uncontrolled pitch up caused by the center of gravity / engine issues. There were further problems keeping it in the same exact “ type” classification as anything putting it outside of Type would require real life $$$$$ pilot simulator and real flight training. The completion Airbus needed none of that. Solution, offer to train them on their dime or watch a video tape which was optional. The laughable FAA blessed it all with it’s typical of late “ pencil whip” . Engineers knew it had serious issues and the chief test pilot made it known to the CEO who blew him off. The Result three serious incidents with two ending in tragedy. 350+ dead and it’s likely the pilots on those planes never even knew MCAS was on the plane or how to shut it off. Boeing got it’s fine, the FAA ducked out of sight and the Boeing CEO snuck away with his 16 million “ golden Parachute”. Profit at any cost?……

Maybe. Depends on how broken up she was. It's also why they haven't found the James Carruthers yet - there was a lot of wreckage, but they've never located a ship structure in the area.

[@nickstemberger1289]

My best guess is that the youth/lack of experience, earlier grounding, and wheat cargo contributed to a sudden cargo shift that capsized the ship. The leak may not have been discovered until too late or not at all and with the lack of communication technology at the time and inexperience, no SOS could've been communicated. Great story! Can you please do the Iosco/Olive Jeanette, Adella Shores, or Alpena?

[@matthewmosier8439]

Pretty sure that's the lighthouse that some KZbinrs spent the night at for a video. Pretty interesting to see it up close.

[@patriciajrs46]

Why shut them down at all? I thought they operated all the time.

[@warriyorcat]

At that time, you needed multiple people to keep them running. The lights were run in kerosene (or some other oil), and there were no mechanical means to get the oil to the light to keep it burning. The keeper would have to haul buckets of kerosene up several flights of stairs to the light. Stannard Rock Lighthouse (the specific lighthouse the Bannockburn passed) is in the middle of buttfuck nowhere (its one of the most isolated spots in the Northern hemisphere), and the Lighthouse Service had a hard time getting people to stay out there - they'd go insane from the lack of human contact. Stannard Rock was also prone to icing over in storms, making it physically dangerous. They probably decided to shut the light off because they couldn't carry the heavy buckets of kerosene up the frozen stairs.

Awesome story that I’ve never heard of. Having been born and raised in Michigan and living just 30 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge, the Great Lakes have been a huge part of my life. I’m sure the Bannockburn is resting in cold, deep water. Hopefully she’ll be found someday.

Fellow lifelong Michigan troll, I've never heard of this ship either until this video. (For anyone not from Michigan, a troll is anyone who lives "under the bridge", aka in the lower peninsula. Yoopers are "above the Mackinac bridge", living in the upper peninsula. Neither term is derogatory.) Everyone knows of the Edmund Fitzgerald, it's a footnote in a history lesson in elementary school here. Unless you had an obsession with ships as a kid (I didn't, my obsession was outer space), I doubt that many of our fellow trolls and Yoopers have heard of these ships and shipwrecks. I have been to Whitefish Point as a kid, (I was a kid in the 90s) toured the museum and found it all very interesting. Now as an adult, these ships are becoming more and more fascinating to me.

It wasn't superstitous sailors it was Great Lakes Historian James Oliver Curwood who gave the Bannockburn the moniker "Flying Dutchmen of the Great Lakes" and what he was trying to do was build a connection between the maritime history of the Great Lakes to the popular maritime history of the worlds ocean to show that the history and life on these lakes were equally valid and harrowing as that of the worlds oceans. Bannockburn also had three sisterships that were virtually identical to her also operating on the Great Lakes region after her loss and they were often misidentified as the Bannockburn because when sailors would see them they would be reminded of the Bannockburn disappearing virtually without a trace.

[@AviatorsTandR]

Another great presentation. I love these Great Lakes videos, they are so detailed, while I don’t know anything about Great Lakes ships, besides your videos. Great video, keep it up!

[@GoredonTheDestroyer]

Something that I think is important to keep in mind about the Great Lakes - and this is something I've picked up from watching Maritime Horrors - is that in the winter months, they can be truly unpredictable - The northern geographic range combined with the sheer _size_ of the lakes makes for a perfect recipe for freak weather conditions that can catch even experienced sailors off guard - not that the crew of the Bannockburn had much in the way of experience.

[@funnelvortex7722]

Not just in winter. Even in spring and summer when the waters are on average more calm they can still give a nasty surprise. The storm systems that cause tornadoes, hail, and high winds in the Midwest and Great Plains often move over the lakes bringing *explosive* weather with them. Wake lows, derechos, and microbursts can turn a nice summer day into nightmarish churning hell within minutes. These explosive conditions have wrecked multiple ships. Stan Rogers wrote a song about it.

[@mbvoelker8448]

An interesting mystery. I can't imagine that the crew of the Algonquin wouldn't have heard an explosion given that sound carries so well over water.

[@marhawkman303]

I'm wondering at the idea that was in fact her hull plate the excavators found. Maybe the inspection team was in a hurry or lazy? Maybe the inspection team genuinely were trying their best but missed something? I don't have much info on what the inspectors actually did, so it's impossible to have confidence in the inspection. soo... the idea that there could be a catastrophic failure is... more than a little plausible. Also, she was last seen with no barge in tow... why? Was she in trouble?

[@johncmitchell4941]

I suggest that if the last observer/Captain had but turned down wind to water his horse (walk his dog?) the ship could have gone down in that time. I also suspect that a boiler explosion would have created a billow of steam or smoke far larger than the ship itself and observable for several minutes despite the weather/visibility. That said, If boiler's water was too low and the inrush too quick it would be all steam and quickly dissipated in the cold. IMO it cracked in two.

I'm glad my sailing days were aboard the brand new USS Theodore Roosevelt. The navy takes care of its ships, which isn't always true of commercial vessels.

I'm also glad to live in a time when past mistakes have been learned from.

Considering the fellow ship sailing a tad after the late Edgar Fitzgerald in 1975, captain said " the Fitz was one minute on my radar and next I looked she was gone" I believe the same happened here with the SS Bannockburn. One min there next look gone. I hope someone would scan that part and see if there arent wrecks there, where one could possibly the SS Bannockburn. Also back then were a human life not valued as it was in the 1970s and onward. We saw it in WW1 n WW2. As long as it was won, no one cared for lives lost nor what happened psychologically, bodily and worse. Sad thing really.

[@HistoryintheDark]

If no explosion was heard, the boiler theory doesn't seem logical. Boiler explosions, especially one capable of wrecking the entire ship, are intense. But she would have had to suffer a major and immediate structural failure for her to just vanish like that which does make the hull pretty suspect. Sadly, unless her wreck is found, we likely won't ever know for sure.

There is 0% chance that hull plate was from Bannockburn. The amount of water that would come in from a lost plate would have sunk her before she made Whitefish. Since I read of this mystery 30 years ago I thought boiler explosion was the only explanation

[@pretzelbomb6105]

It’s also possible her cargo shifted and caused her to capsize. A few hard knocks back and forth, piling cargo higher on one side, then the other, then back… and CLANG! 20 tons of loose wheat slams into the inner hull. CLANG! 20 tons into the other side if she survives the first. Shifts like that can break a ship in half.

[@marhawkman303]

I'm not so sure. What do we know of the way Bannockburn was put together? did she have internal bulkheads to stem the deluge of the ship interior? Have a bulkhead get strained by being under load long enough and a water tight bulkhead can just fail. If the hull plate falling off opened a gap into a water tight compartment(such as a sealed hold) that no one tried looking inside? The amount of water taken on would be limited until the bulkheads collapsed under strain.

[@luketdrifter2100]

Sailors sometimes have a hard time not being superstitious. Often, higher education is somewhat lacking among much of the crew, leaving them with limited capability to explain odd events.

One night, there was a disturbance on deck where over 20 hands were almost in hysterics over the phosphorescent algae that was churned up in the wake of a large bulk carrier. I've learned to take their stories with a heavy dose of salt, but to not discount them entirely. After all, they were right about rouge waves well before they were a documented and verified phenomenon.

[@jz9985]

Could it be that there was an undetected leak after the hull was damaged the extent of which might not have been reported due to the keenness to pursue additional trips before the weather set in for the winter? The wheat cargo would begin to swell and generate heat which would cause the damaged section of the hull to spectacularly blow out causing a rapid sinking. of the vessel. The profit motive of the company's owners always at the forefront in the captains mind. Why else would they have hired younger aged inexperienced crews if not for profit.
