On the morning of May 7th, 1956, the SS Cedarville, part of the Bradley Transportation Fleet, collided with the Norwegian cargo ship MV Topdalsfjord in heavy fog near the Mackinac Bridge on Lake Huron. While her captain thought he might be able to save her, the aging ship quickly succumbed to her wounds, throwing her 35 crew members to the mercy of Lake Huron.
