Black and white photo of the steamer 'Harvey H. Brown' showing the damage the vessel received in a collision with another ship, October 18, 1951. This photo shows the Lorain Lighthouse in the distance as she entered the Port of Lorain.
On October 17, 1951, at 3:17 a.m. the HARVEY H. BROWN collided with the GEORGE F. RAND in the St. Clair River just below the Huron Cut in fog. Both ships were heavily damaged in the collision. The RAND was in the most danger, and she was beached, facing upriver on the U.S. side, near the mouth of the Black River.
.After discharging her sand cargo at Port Huron, the RAND was taken to the shipyard at Toledo, where her damage was repaired. The HARVEY H. BROWN had already proceeded to a Lake Erie port to discharge her cargo and proceeded to the shipyard for repairs to her bow.Acquisition
