Wickliffe Public Library will be hosting “Ghosts of the Griffith: Disaster on Lake Erie” at 7 p.m. Nov. 13.
The summer of 1850 was the scene of the worst shipping disaster in Lake Erie’s history — a fire on the steamer G.P. Griffith, along the coast of Lake County, between Fairport Harbor and Willowick. It is a grim tale of loss, softened by a touching tale of survival, according to a news release.
