I only know of 2 stories that have been writen about the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2.

 
     
 
Ghost Ships of The Great Lakes
by Dwight Boyer
published in 1966
 
       
 
Other books are avaliable that contain brief snippets about the ship. Sadly most of this information is incorrect, but George Hiltons' book The Great Lakes Car Ferries is considered a great source of information on Car Ferries of all types.

  Other than the first two tales of fact and fiction there were several witnesses to the loss of the Steamer.
