The ship was first damaged on 10 April 1894, ship owner and captain Wesley T Ober decided that he could pilot the crippled ship and dock safely, denying aid. However, they were overtaken by the storm of 12 April. The survivors attempted to abandon the schooner in a lifeboat but did not reach land. The ship, meanwhile, had been driven by the storm onto Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts.{{cite news |title=A Deserted Vessel. The Entire Crew of the Jennie M. Carter Supposed to be Lost |newspaper=Wheeling Register |date=14 April 1894}} By 15 April, the crew was declared deceased after thorough searching. It is thought that the crew may have survived had they kept to the interior of the ship with the cargo. Three bodies and an overcoat belonging to the first mate were recovered; the lifeboat was recovered near Plum Island. Folklore dictates that the ship's cat was the only survivor. The story of the shipwrecks from 12 April and the previous weeks sparked national interest and thousands gathered to see the wreck of Jennie M Carter."The Jennie M. Carter. Three Thousand People Visit the Wreck, Crew Yet be Heard From," Boston Journal, 14 April 1894. The paving stones were removed and sold at auction; some were used in Salisbury. The ship remains were considered unsalvageable and left to disintegrate on the beach where it became a well-known site. Some of the wooden frame could still be seen in 2013.

Kershaw′s steam engine broke down in Lake Huron off the coast of Michigan a few miles north of New Presque Isle Light. With a strong south wind pushing the two schooner barges toward Charles J. Kershaw, Moonlight′s crew cut Ironton′s tow line to free the two schooner barges from the steamer and prevent a collision. Ironton drifted into the path of the steamer {{SS|Ohio|1875|2}}, which collided with Ironton head-on and sank quickly. Ironton then drifted out of sight of ships rescuing Ohio′s crew and sank an hour after the collision. Her crew of seven tried to abandon ship in her yawl, but the yawl remained tied to Ironton, which pulled the yawl to the bottom when she sank. Ironton′s captain and four other crewmen drowned, leaving two survivors clinging to wreckage. The steamer Charles Hebard {{nowrap|({{flag|United States|1891}})}} rescued the two men a few hours later.{{cite web |url=https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/nov17/finding-history-two-lost-wrecks-discovered-in-thunder-bay-national-marine-sanctuary.html |title=Finding history: Two lost wrecks discovered in Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary |publisher=noaa.gov |access-date=24 February 2020}}
