Lost Lady

The Lady Elgin Tragedy

Author Paul Timm explores the 1860 wreck of The Lady Elgin, a steamship that sank while travelling from Chicago to Milwaukee. It remains the worst open-water disaster on Lake Michigan.

The Lady Elgin was a sidewheel steamship carrying 300 passengers. It was returning from Milwaukee to Chicago when it was struck by a schooner, and sunk in Lake Michigan in the early hours of September 8, 1860.

Author Paul Timm will be sharing his research and book that was inspired by this American disaster, which remains the worst open-water disaster on Lake Michigan.
