In this episode, we dive into the mystery of the SS Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, a car ferry that vanished on Lake Erie in December 1909. Despite being one of the Great Lakes’ shallower waters, the 350-foot vessel disappeared without a trace, leaving behind chilling clues: lifeboats with frozen crew members, conflicting distress calls, and rumours of mutiny. We explore the ship’s design flaws, the theories behind its fate, and why, more than a century later, this “Holy Grail of Shipwrecks” still hasn’t been found.
