The ANGELIQUE was a scow schooner built in 1863 in Belle River, Ontario. It was constructed by Joseph Renaud. The vessel had one deck and was equipped with two masts.
The dimensions of the ANGELIQUE were recorded as 53 feet in length, 17 feet in beam, and 3 feet in depth. It had a net tonnage of 32 tons.
ANGELIQUE was placed on a railway at Ruthven for partial reconstruction. The plan included fitting the vessel with new spars and other necessary equipment.
In terms of ownership, the ANGELIQUE was owned by Thomas Lucas of Maidstone in 1877. However, at the time of its sinking, it was owned by Joseph Fecteau.
On July 13, 1887, the ANGELIQUE met its final fate. It sank in Ruthven, Ontario, in Lake St. Clair. The cause of the sinking was attributed to hull failure. The vessel was carrying a cargo of molding sand at the time of the incident. The heavy cargo likely contributed to the vessel’s leaking and subsequent sinking.
The loss of the ANGELIQUE resulted in financial losses for those involved. Captain Ives, who had contracted the cargo of molding sand, incurred a loss of $250. The scow was valued at $1,000 and owned by Joseph Fecteau.
