Propeller and Shaft

A stern frame cast iron propeller and steel shaft is believed to be from the lumber steamer Mueller, built as Edwin S. Tice in 1887 at the Burger yards in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. She measured 159.9 x 32.1 x 12.5 and 728 gross tons. The vessel had many owners, and in 1901 she was sold to William Mueller & Company of Chicago and rechristened Mueller. Until she was laid up at Sturgeon Bay in 1932, she towed barges in the pulpwood trade on the Great Lakes under four additional owners. In 1933 she was dismantled in the "boneyard," and the hull was burned and scuttled about four miles north of the city of Sturgeon Bay in 1935.
