Site Description: The wreck lies 150 yards from the 2600 Block off Minnesota Point, Minnesota. It was discovered when a young girl (Sophie) saw it through the clear ice and was named Sophie’s Wreck by the local newspaper. It is a partial wreck site from just forward of the engine to the propeller. The crank and bottom of a single cylinder steam engine along with shaft and propeller is extant. The wreck is embedded in sand so what is visible is variable. The site was photographed under the ice. One suggested possible candidate for the identity of the wreck was the tug Amethyst.
