                                  Two survived the sinking of the Carl D. Bradley - 33 didn't.
                                  Twenty three of the 33 were from Rogers City
                                  Five from the surrounding areas of Posen, Onaway and Metz.
                                  A total of 28 sailors from Presque Isle County lost their lives.

Webmasters' note:
The population of Rogers City was probably around 5000 +  at the time of the Bradley's sinking, and there
was not one Rogers City resident  who wasn't impacted by this tragedy in some manner.
I was only 14 at the time, but I still think back to all the kids that I played with, and went to school with,
who lost a family member. In some cases it was a father, and in others, a brother or perhaps an uncle.
