Description:
One of the most terrible shipping disasters of the nineteenth century occurred off the shores of Lake Michigan when the lumber ship Augusta rammed the luxury liner Lady Elgin during a September squall in the middle of the night. Although hundreds perished in this event, many acts of heroism took place during the treacherous rescue effort. This exciting and stirring composition is a memorial to those heroes.
