This month we dive into the history behind the Maple Leaf before she reached her watery grave. Part 2 will follow in May. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Built in Kingston, Ontario, for a Canadian shipping firm, the Maple Leaf was constructed in 1851. She ferried passengers and mail across Lake Ontario until 1855, when her owners sold her to a New York joint stock company due to financial snags. The ship was in her prime. Receiving daily news coverage for arrival and departure times, the Maple Leaf provided far more than practical transportation between Canadian and American ports. For just 75 cents, passengers could partake in \u201cmoonlight excursions,\u201d where a band was always on board to \u201cenliven the party.\u201d Folks would dance and enjoy the scenic waters on the open lake before returning to port around midnight. In September 1860, the Maple Leaf led two special excursions from Rochester to see the Prince of Wales and his Royal entourage traveling on the steamer Kingston.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, with the railroad industry increasing and hostilities of the American Civil War fast encroaching, the Maple Leaf\u2019s business as a luxury excursion steamboat was ending. In fact, on her last Fourth of July trip, many Canadian sympathizers of the Confederate cause would lob sticks at the ship\u2019s band when they started playing \u201cYankee Doodle\u201d instead of \u201cDixie.\u201d By 1862, the ship was sold to new owners in Boston who then leased her to the federal government, where she joined the ranks as a United States Army transport ship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Maple Leaf conducted routine services of ferrying troops, equipment, and supplies along the Atlantic coast, occasionally transporting Confederate prisoners of war. In June 1863, she was relocating 97 Confederate officers to detention at Fort Delaware. When the prisoners caught wind that the guards\u2019 muskets weren\u2019t loaded, 12 of them overpowered the Yankee watchmen and escaped. Now hijacked, 70 Rebels made their way ashore via small boats on board, while 27 prisoners elected to remain behind. When the Union heard the news of this escape, an investigation took place; the blame fell on the lieutenant of the guard detachment for failure to assure the guards\u2019 guns were loaded. At the direction of President Lincoln, the lieutenant was dismissed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By February 1864, a brigade of soldiers composed of the 112<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and 169<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> New York and 13<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Indiana Volunteer Infantries were rushed to Florida to support the Union expedition. Soon the Union saw defeat at the Battle of Olustee, a day-long fight resulting in almost 3000 casualties \u2014 the largest battle in Florida during the Civil War. Camp equipage and personal belongings had been left behind in South Carolina, so on March 26, the Maple Leaf was tasked to retrieve it at Folly Island. This property filled the entire cargo hold of the ship and, after a stop at Hilton Head, she arrived in Jacksonville at 5 p.m. on March 30. Rather than unloading everything, the Maple Leaf was ordered to carry on immediately to Palatka to deliver Union cavalry, supplies and equipment. The ship departed for the 50-mile trip at 9 p.m., reaching its destination at 4 a.m. the following morning. By 11:15 p.m. that night, the ship set off for Jacksonville on what was to be her final journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Note: The research collected for this article is from The Maple Leaf: An Extraordinary American Civil War Shipwreck by Dr. Keith Holland et.al.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brett Nolan is a volunteer with the Mandarin Museum &amp; Historical Society.
