Loss By Fire
On February 12, 1914, Urania burned near Houghton, and became a total loss. Her steam engine was salvaged and she was scuttled in the lake west of the Houghton shipyard in about 150 feet of water. A leading authority states that Urania was transferred to Puget Sound in 1917; if so, this cannot be the same Urania as the vessel described in the SCRET report, as the webpage shows the burned Urania before scuttling.

Must be won without pride,
With a nod from nature,
With a lack of strain,
And a loss of stature.”
