The Charles S. Price was built in 1910 by the American Shipbuilding Company and owned by the Mahoning Steamship Company. She was the sister ship of the Isaac M. Scott, which also sank during the Great Storm of 1913. She was 504 feet long with a beam of 54 feet. When she sank during the Great Storm, she took all her crew with her. For days following the storm, the Charles S. Price was known as the “Mystery Ship”. This is because she was found floating upside down near Port Huron, Michigan; her identity was eventually confirmed by a diver a few days after the storm. After about a week, the Price finally sank.
