SS Regina (1907)
The SS Regina was a steel canaler built for the Canada Steamship Lines and home ported in Montreal, Quebec. Named after Regina, Saskatchewan, the Regina had a tonnage of 1,956 gross register tons (GRT) and a crew of 32.
The ship sank during the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 after taking great damage. Lost for more than a half century, it became known as the "Great Mystery of the Great Storm of the Great Lakes". Since found, it has become an active dive site for scuba divers and is now part of Michigan's underwater park system.

Famous quotes containing the word regina:
““Mother of heaven, regina of the clouds,
O sceptre of the sun, crown of the moon,
There is not nothing, no, no, never nothing,
Like the clashed edges of two words that kill.””
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
