Long Description: The three masted, 126`` (37.8-metre) schooner, Lottie Wolf, launched at Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 1866, sailed for Midland from Chicago with a cargo of corn when she struck a rock during severe weather on Oct 16, 1891. Purposely run aground, the vessel broke up after the crew-abandoned ship. The remains lie scattered on this sandy bottom, with the sides of the hull off the south and west of the main wreckage area. Years ago, the rudder was raised and is displayed in Toronto at the Marine Museum of Upper Canada
