The Lady Elgin disaster remains the greatest loss of life on open water in the history of the Great Lakes.[3]

In 1994, a process began to list the shipwreck on the National Register of Historic Places. After it was determined to be eligible for listing in 1999, the process ended after an objection by the owner, so the shipwreck is not listed on the Register.[4]

It may have made it into Kramer’s “Astonishing Tales of the Sea,” however. And Cat Stevens may have written a song about it just like that one he wrote about the Gordon Lightfoot.

Reading the wiki link about the Lady Elgin, it appears she was a bad-luck ship.
