Lake Erie Ship Wrecks, Ship Wrecks around the world. Disclaimer: I may make some of you Angry, please read all the way through and respect me for my opinion & family lore. Because of the family lore I cannot accept that All Captains did or why would they go down with their ship?
Lose of a Loved one is never happy. I am most sincerely sorry for those affected by such tragic happenings.
I know we all hear of the stories of a ship wreck/sinking and the Captain going down with the Ship!
I say No Way!!! Not all of these Captains went down with their Vessel.
How can I say this???
In my Family History there is the Family Lore that such a thing occurred. That I have a Male Ancestor that was Captain of a Lake Erie vessel. That it sank. He however did not go down with his ship. Instead he and the crew went in the Life Boat. They made their way to foreign shore.
My ancestor never returned to his parents family. The family always believed him dead. That he was sunk with his vessel. I know nothing of his crew. Was he really a crew member and not the Captain. Since being a captain makes for better Family Lore.
My ancestor made a new life for himself.
He married had children. Died in his new adopted home.
So when men come out of nowhere in your family history. You might want to start looking for Ship Wrecks and if they were crew or Captain of a ship.
New way to search out a Male Ancestor. I say Good Luck on finding such info though. Cause not only can I not find crew list I can barely find out anything on the ship wreck. Its widely reported where it went down but who was on these vessels???
There are legal obligations to the Captain. So if he is reported lost with his crew that eliminates his Legal Obligation.
Hence in my family lore, it states that his father who was alive at the time was security for the Lake going ship. I have been searching out newspapers stating that a man was ruined since he was security to the Sinking Ship. Nothing yet
Am I just banging my head for nothing I will not know till I turn over every stone.
