Great Lakes Freighter Sinks In Storm One of the worst of the Great Lakes' savage, early-November storms rages for over 6 days - pounding to destruction a huge freighter. The 615 foot vessel breaks up and sinks. Only 2 of its 35-man crew are found alive by rescuers. It's one of the worst shipping disasters ever on the Lakes. Ships on water. Aerial coastline. Life jackets on ground. Dead body carried away. Men (alive) wrapped in blankets carried on stretcher. Press, reporters, photographers.
