There is a significant error in this record. The Illinois was not lost in Nov 1969. She broke in half off Port Austin, MI on September 13, 1868. Her crew escaped in the yawl. There is an extensive article in the Detroit Free Press of 9/17/1868. The article also discusses the vessel's long/interesting history.
