On Nov. 24, 1909 the 218 foot O. T. Flint was northbound on Lake Huron, towing the barge Redington. She was loaded with limestone and salt. When abreast of Thunder Bay she experienced air pump problems, headed into the bay and came to anchor for repairs. Capt. John Sinclair went to bed in his cabin near the pilot house and was awakened before dawn by dense smoke. The fore of the vessel had caught fire, forcing the Captain to scurry aft with only his coat.
