The ship was launched on September 14, 1868, in Tonawanda, New York. On August 5, 1877, she hit a rock, took on water and sank after her cargo shifted during a squall.[2]
The wreck was discovered on August 6, 1963, by three members of the local diving club,[3] complete with 500 tons of coal on board. She rests at a depth of about 65 feet (20 m), off the shore of Sparrow Island.
