Later, the freighter <i>Osceola</i> found wreckage and portions of the <i>Manistee's</i> cargo off of the Apostle Islands. The tug <i>Swain</i> found more wreckage off of Eagle River. The rudder and barreled flour came ashore near Copper Harbor. The west shore of Keweenaw Point was littered with miscellaneous items such as beds, tables, buckets, and food many of which had <i>Manistee's</i> name on it. |
