Episode 050: (Water) The SS Carl D. Bradley - a podcast by Andy & Michele Sargent

The SS Carl D. Bradley was a self-unloading Great Lakes freighter that sank in a Lake Michigan storm on November 18, 1958. Of the 35 crew members, 33 died in the sinking. 23 were from the port town of Rogers City, Michigan. Her sinking was likely caused by structural failure from the brittle steel used in her construction. Many husbands and fathers from the town were lost as a result of the wreck.
