    Feb 6 2026

    It's all things ice over here (the non-toxic kind, except a few of the ships we cover might think otherwise) and Andrew and Michelle invite you along for the ride. Join them as they talk about an episode eerily similar to last week's story. See if you can spot the differences before Michelle makes them obvious in her retelling of the tale of the SS John V. Moran. Be sure to pack your ice picks and lots of extra salt. Welcome aboard!

  • 75 - Anatomical Snuffbox of Michigan
    Jan 24 2026

    What does hubris, slush, and the first millionaire in Detroit have in common? Why, the SS Eber Ward, of course! Still unsure of of the connection? Tune in to today's episode where Andrew and Michelle cover the life of not only the Eber Ward the ship, but also the man she was named after, and his uncle, and perhaps a few other characters along the way. Anchors away!

    Jan 16 2026

    Join hosts Michelle and Andrew as they talk about a series of unfortunate events that happened on November 17, 1879. What started as an unassuming night quickly turned into chaos that took the lives of 6 people and sank at least three ships - tug A.O. Thayer, tug Philip Becker, and the dredge Gordon, as well as quite possibly a few scows. Tune in to learn more about this Lake Ontario tragedy. Anchors away!
