Geocache Description:


One fateful Sunday evening, the Sea Wing began its return trip from Lake City to the ship's hometown Diamond Bluff. Though primarily used as a log-rafter, the vessel was used as an excursion to go to Lake City, the site of the Minnesota National Guard summer encampment that year. However, on the return trip, heavy gusts of winds pushed the vessel to its fate and many lost their lives. It is one of the worst accidents on the Upper Mississippi river recorded, as many lost their lives. A memorial was erected by the Goodhue County Historical Society on its 100th anniversary in Levee Park.

The coordinates will take you to the memorial on which you will find the information needed for the coordinates.

The final is a short walk in Levee Park. This can be a high muggle area so be aware.

A= How many days it took to recover the bodies

BCDE = Year of the disaster

BF=Day of the month of the disaster

GBH= Total number of passengers and crew

The Final Location is:

N 44° FA.ECA
