SS Iroquois (1900)

On 10 April 1911, Iroquois was overloaded with poorly secured cargo and sank in a heavy storm when the cargo shifted as she left Sidney. At least 21 people were killed and Iroquois′ captain was charged with, but acquitted of, manslaughter.

In 1980, Iroquois′ propeller was salvaged. It is part of a memorial in Iroquois Park, a municipal park in Sidney.
