The May Queen was a small schooner that had been in tow of the tug, J.F. Dayan, at the time of her sinking. She was built by Captain E.B. Graham in Green Bay, 1876, and sunk December 2, 1882. The vessel sprung a leak and went down so fast that Captain Thor Anderson and his two crewmates could not clear the lifeboat from davits in time and found themselves floundering in the water. No one was lost. The May Queen sits in 80 feet of water. She was overloaded with salted fish.
