Wreck of the S.S. Ellsworth, sunk on July 9,1877

The Ellsworth was built in 1869 on Seneca Lake as a sailing vessel. In 1870 she was fitted up as a steam vessel. She was on a ten day cruise among the islands at the head of the St. Lawrence and vicinity. The Ellsworth was at anchor off Stony Island when a fire broke out in the kitchen causing the vessel to burn to the water line. She now lies in 21 feet of water off Stony Island.
