  1. Hello Roger. My name is Steve Joachim. My great Grandfather Theodore Grant was Captain of the Benjamin Noble right up until it's final trip. He was watching the loading at Ashtabula and refused to sail her in such an overloaded state. He was replaced by young Captain Eishenhardt. The rest is tragic history. My Great Grandfather finished his working days as postmaster of Algonac Michigan. I don't know all the details but I always wondered if the Nobles sinking stuck with him and made his decision to retire from sailing. I'm glad you are doing this project..I'm very curious to see the finished work. SJ
