A slight correction on my previous post on the American Mariner. I’m not sure if she did run aground in Lake Huron or not in the early 2000s? However, I do recall I believe she either hit or come close to hitting Light 7 in Lake Huron? Whatever happened then to her, they had to bring in the Adam E. Cornelius to lighter them. It took several days to free her and it also closed down the river and caused a backup of ship traffic as well back then.
