I am trying to track down descendants of Captain Joseph HALLIGAN, who went down on the ship "Ira H. Owen" in the Great Storm of 1905 on Lake Superior. Joseph was ill and my gg uncle Capt. Thomas HONNER took over the mastering of the ship for his friend. Joseph was still onboard when they went out. Both were lost. I believe Joseph and John were brothers. Joseph was born 1949 in Ireland and lived in Buffalo, NY in 1900, with wife Jemmie(?) and children Frank, Grace, and Harry. Frank was just visiting home in 1900 because he was crewing on the steamer "James H. Gratwich" out of Duluth in June of that year. Have you heard of a brother Joseph at all?
