The USS Huron was an iron-hulled gunboat of the United States Navy; a screw steamer with full-rig auxiliary sail, built in Pennsylvania and commissioned in 1875. The Huron ran aground off Nags Head, North Carolina in heavy weather, and was wrecked. At first, her crew worked in relatively little danger, attempting to free their ship, but she soon heeled over, carrying 98 officers and men to their deaths. I was honored to lend my voice to help revive and celebrate the epic tale of an American naval hero involved in this tragedy, as part of The BackTracker History Show.
