The Augustus B. Wolvin was a {{convert|560|ft|m|abbr=on}} long Great Lakes freighter that had a 63-year career on the Great Lakes of America and Canada. The Wolvin was a product of the American Shipbuilding Company of Cleveland, Ohio. She was built for the Acme Steamship Company of Duluth, Minnesota.

She was launched as hull #330 on April 9, 1904.[1] At the time of her launch her nickname was "Yellow Kid".[1] She was powered by a quadruple expansion steam engine attached to a single fixed pitch propeller and fueled by two coal-fired scotch marine boilers. At the time of her launch the Wolvin was the longest vessel operating on the Great Lakes (hence the unofficial title Queen of the Lakes), she was also the first vessel that had telescoping steel hatch covers which replaced the old wooden hatch covers.[2]

She was also the first lake freighter built without vertical support beams in her holds.[4] This innovation allowed for faster, more automated, loading and unloading.

In 1913 the fleet owned by Acme Steamship Company was sold to the Lackawanna Steamship Company of Cleveland, Ohio (managed by Pickands Mather & Company). The fleet was later purchased by Interlake Steamship Company. In 1946 the Wolvin had her telescoping hatch covers replaced with new single piece steel hatch covers (the space between the hatch covers was 24 feet) and a new hatch crane. This rebuild was done by the Great Lakes Engineering Works of Ecorse, Michigan. In 1966 the Wolvin was sold to the Canadian Labrador Steamship Company of Montreal, Quebec.[3]

The scrapping

In June of 1967 the Wolvin ran aground in the Welland Canal and suffered severe bottom damage.[6] Eventually she was declared a total loss at Port Weller and towed to Hamilton, Ontario. She was sold to the Marine Salvage Inc. of Port Colborne, Ontario. She was resold to a Spanish shipbreaker and towed down the St. Lawrence Seaway in August, 1967. She arrived in Santander, Spain on September 24, 1967 along with the {{SS|Saskadoc||2}}.

Wolvin took to the waters off Lorain, Ohio in 1904. She was the first lake bulk carrier built with arch construction. This style of construction eliminated the need for vertical hold stanchions, which also made a increase in a vessels cargo capacity and made unloading easier. Without the vertical beams down the center of the cargo holds, clam shell buckets, and Huletts could unload a ships cargo faster, and with less damage. }}
