A lit museum display case holding three objects the accompanying placard states were recovered from the wreck of the Erie L. Hackley: a two-handled drawshave, a wooden cask mallet branded “Pabst Brewg Co. Milwaukee,” and a corroded metal pulley block described as coming “from the deck of the Erie L. Hackley.” Wall text notes the mallet as possible evidence of the vessel’s unrecorded cargo and the drawshave as possibly belonging to a passenger bound for the lumber trade; the case credits the donation to Richard Boyd. Photographed by Justin M. Skiba, 22 August 2023.
