SS Charles S. Price: The Haunting Mystery of the White Hurricane

In November 1913, the Great Lakes became a death trap. The White Hurricane—also known as the Great Lakes Storm of 1913—unleashed hurricane-force winds, blinding snow, and massive waves that destroyed ships across the region. Among the storm’s most haunting casualties was the SS Charles S. Price, a steel freighter that vanished on Lake Huron and then reappeared in one of the strangest ways imaginable. In this video, we explore the tragic and mysterious final voyage of the SS Charles S. Price, the terrifying power of the White Hurricane, and why this wreck remains one of the most disturbing stories in Great Lakes history.
