In the days after the wreck, a number of bodies were picked up by fishing tugs near Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The dead reported by the Tribune included the Beau brothers, Martin and Henry, of Chicago; E.H. Borland, a traveling salesman from Milwaukee; and Charles Curtis, a cabin boy found with a letter from his mother back in Germany “carefully preserved” in his pocket. Others were identified in the paper only by their height, hair color, personal effects and scars. One person survived the wreck: a crewman named Axel Stone.
