"The 432ft John A. McGean loaded 6,000 tons of soft coal at Sandusky and departed Saturday afternoon on its last upbound trip of the 1913 season. The ship foundered on Lake Huron, near Sturgeon Point, Michigan. As in other straight deckers, the pilothouse was above the texas forward, and above that on the McGean was a flying bridge, where the captain and wheelsman can be seen in this photo. The windlass room was below the texas. The steering pole in the bow is upright, but could be angled forward to help the wheelsman judge turns. <br><br>Source image from the Historical Collections of the Great Lakes, BGSU<br><br>Great Lakes Storm of 1913." -- White Hurricane by David G. Brown, 2002.
