Historical Context
The Buffalo Steamship was company was incorporated in Ohio and based in Cleveland. The company operated a fleet of steamers on the Great Lakes.
The company was later acquired by the American Steamship, who proceeded to move the company's base of operations to Buffalo, New York.
The ore carrier Frank H. Goodyear was the flagship of the Buffalo Steamship Company fleet. Named for the man who developed the famous Pullman railroad car, the Goodyear was distinguished because it carried an ornate Pullman car bolted to her deck.
That railroad car, complete with luxury living quarters and even a grand piano, went to the bottom of Lake Huron with the Goodyear and 17 terrified sailors after a collision in fog with the freighter James B. Wood off Point aux Barques, in Michigan’s Thumb District, early on May 23, 1910.
