Service History

From the Wisconsin Historical Society Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Files: "Her owner recently bought her 'on tick' from the present captain of the schooner Mary E. Cook for $50. Thus the aged craft was really worth even less than the wood which now lies strewn upon the beach with her shattered timbers." DCA 11/12/1998 P.1, C1.

1854, November 23 The C. Harrison was run into at Saint Clair Flats and towed to Detroit for repairs.
1858, April 6 She was driven ashore during a gale at Milwaukee.
