Snowbound Chryslers, 1927
A Lake Superior storm drove the City of Bangor onto rocks near Copper Harbor in November 1926 with a cargo of new Chrysler automobiles. Historical photographs follow the recovery of cars during the winter of 1927.
Salvors made a route from the icebound ship to shore, and drivers moved the cars along the frozen lakeside. The episode connects a shipping loss with the automobile trade and the difficult work of recovering the cargo in a Keweenaw winter.
