The SS Myron was a wooden steamship built in 1888. She spent her 31-year career as lumber hooker, towing schooner barges on the Great Lakes. She sank in 1919 in a Lake Superior November gale. All of her 17 crew members were killed but her captain survived. He was found drifting on wreckage near Ile Parisienne. Her tow, the Miztec, survived. The Myron defied the adage that Lake Superior "seldom gives up her dead” when all 17 crewmembers were found frozen to death wearing their life jackets.
