On September 22, 1917 the William P. Rend floundered and sunk with a partial load of limestone just north of the Cement Plant channel. Her crew of nine were rescued without injury. The Rend started life in 1888 as the 2,970 ton, steamer GEORGE G. HADLEY but on June 7, 1902, Captained by Mike Fitzgerald, she collided with the whaleback steamer THOMAS WILSON just outside of the Duluth harbor. While the WILSON sank with nine of her crew, the HADLEY managed to beach herself on Minnesota Point. She was sold, repaired and renamed as the WILLIAM P. REND. By 1916 she was being used as a barge and her tonnage reduced to 2,323 gross tons.
