First Ship to be sunk on the Lakes

To avoid Niagara Fall the GRIFFON sailed from Lake Erie on 7 August 1697. Once on Lake Huron she encountered a storm ( 18 September ) that tore through the lakes. As history records the GRIFFON was lost forever somewhere between Lake Erie and Lake Huron becoming the first ship presumed sunk on the Great Lakes.
