- SS_Novadoc abstract "The Novadoc was one of three Great Lakes freighters lost in the Armistice Day Storm of 11 November, 1940. SS William B. Davock and Anna C. Minch both foundered that same night with complete loss of their crews. All three ships went down between Little Point Sable and Pentwater, Michigan. Unlike the crews of the Davock and Minch, most of the Novadoc's crew survived the sinking due to the bravery of some local fishermen.Novadoc was of Canadian registry. Built in 1928, the steel-hulled Novadoc was just 250 feet in length, having been designed to navigate comfortably through the canals and locks of the lower Great Lakes.Originally, the high winds of the powerful storm came from the southeast, causing the captains of those ships to hug Lake Michigan's eastern shore to protect their ships. Later, when the winds shifted to the southwest, the ships became fully exposed to the brunt of what is known as a \"non-tropical cyclone\". The winds were clocked at 75 miles per hour, which is the threshold wind velocity for a hurricane. Already close to the Michigan shoreline because of the earlier storm-fighting tactics, the change in wind direction drove the Novadoc on to the sand bars located about two miles North of Little Point Sable, five miles south of the town of Pentwater. She immediately broke in two, severing her electrical power lines. Novadoc continued to be battered by the high wind and waves, eventually drawing a crowd to Juniper beach.The Coast Guard personnel stationed in Pentwater determined that weather conditions were too severe to offer assistance to the grounded freighter. After 36 hours a tugboat, the Three Brothers II, decided to go to Novadoc's assistance. They were able to rig a breeches buoy from the stricken freighter to the beach directly in front of the Silver Lake sand dunes.".
