Great Lakes bulk carrier Thomas Lynch (ab. 1907)

The 183 m steel Greal Lakes bulk freighter Thomas Lynch photographed (ab.) 1907. My colorization of an image in the Library of Congress archive (Detroit Publishing Co. collection).
The Thomas Lynch, which entered service in 1907, was built by the Chicago Shipbuildning Co. for the Pittsburgh Steamship Co. (home port Duluth, MN). The ship was rebuilt in 1943 and 1950. Since 1951 it was part of the United Steel Co. fleet. In 1965 the Thomas Lynch was sold to Upper Lakes Shipping Ltd and renamed Wiarton. In 1971 it was sold for scrap. She was towed to Hamilton (ON), where her hull was sunk with steamers Grovedale and Henry R.Platt Jr. to form a breakwall. (Information from the Great Lakes Vessel History page).
