E.M. Bunce

E.M. Bunce
"Steamer Bunce
tied up at dock
of Cement Co.
Essexville Mich
Sunday Sept 25/38"

E.M. Bunce was built as Montfaucon in Detroit (by American Shipbuilding) for the United States Shipping Board, late in a series of 80 or so similar (identical?) ships that were apparently ordered in 1918 and delivered over the course of three years; Beck & Labadie's Pride of the Inland Seas calls these "Fredrikstad ships", of which hundreds were built worldwide.

This ship was renamed to Bunce in 1927; then apparently sold off the Lakes in 1940. After a series of name changes (Intrepido, Valeroso, Mariannina, & Sileno), she was renamed Anna Maria Ievoli in 1955. On November 1, 1957, the Ievoli exploded at a dock in Naples, killing at least two and sinking in 40 feet of water. The wire service coverage I've seen of the explosion didn't know, or likely care, about her great lakes history.

Earl Malcolm Bunce made his fortune in Cleveland and Elyria real estate in the early 1900s, then invested in the Mid-West Transportation Company, who owned this ship.
