Lost Lady: The Sinking of the Lady Elgin In-Person
The Lady Elgin was a sidewheel steamship carrying 300 passengers. It was returning from Milwaukee to Chicago when it was struck by a schooner, and sunk in Lake Michigan in the early hours of September 8, 1860. Author Paul Timm will share his research and book that was inspired by this tragic event, which remains the worst open-water disaster on Lake Michigan.
