Join your hosts, Andrew & Michelle, as they travel back in time and tackle the untimely sinking of the PS Lady Elgin after she collided on a stormy night in Lake Michigan with the Augusta of Oswego on September 8, 1860. Was it a scheme to take out southern supporters on their way back from hearing presidential election speeches? Or was it simply due to a misjudgment of distance on a stormy night? Tune in and find out on this week's episode of Under the Waves.
