text:
SS Vernon was a wooden-hulled American passenger and package freighter that sank in a Lake Michigan storm on October 29, 1887, near Two Rivers, Wisconsin, with the loss of between 36 and 50 lives, making her one of the deadliest shipwrecks ever to have occurred in Wisconsin. Only one of the people on board survived. Vernon was built in 1886 in Chicago, Illinois by the James P. Smith shipyard. She was built for Alfred Booth, also of Chicago. That same year, she replaced the package freighter A.
