Phil talks to Ken about the the ship S.S. Argus and how it was lost on Lake Huron on November 9, 1913 during the Great Lakes storm of 1913. Under the commander of captain Paul Dutch, the Argus headed north into Lake Huron, with a load of coal. A little over 13 miles north of Point Aux Barques, the ship broke in two and sank with the loss of all 25 hands.[2][3] The SS Hydrus, sister ship of the Argus, was also lost in the storm.

Portions of the wreckage were found by a local doctor along the shoreline at Bayfield, Ontario in mid-November 1913.[4] The remains of the ship was discovered in 1972, by diver Dick Race. The wreck lies upside down, in about 250 feet of water.[1]
