| Description: | Toward midnight of May 6, 1850, the steamer "Commerce" put out from the harbor of Port Maitland on the north shore of Lake Erie and soon after was in collision with the inbound steamer "Despatch". The "Commerce" sank in forty feet of water and forty-one lives were lost. The weather was clear, both vessels were displaying their lights and no entirely satisfactory explanation has ever been given for the accident. [Suggest a different description.] |
