The 154.5 foot steamship J.D. Marshall was built in 1891 to haul lumber and was later converted to collect and transport sand. Fully loaded, she sprang a leak and sank in a storm on June 11, 1911. Three crewmen were trapped below deck and drowned, while the remaining seven were washed overboard and all but one were saved.
