Easy stuff first. The "Francisco Morazon", of Liberian Registry, ran aground off South Manitou Island on November 30, 1960 during a snowstorm. The captain thought he was 70 miles further north and turned to cross the Straits of Mackinac, but he was too far South. A funny sidenote, in 1903, the "Walter L. Frost" ran aground in almost the exact same spot.
