The two-masted schooner AZOV was built In 1866 for William Bunton of Wellington Square, at the shipyard operated by John Potter and the accredited master builder John Simpson. It seems to have been named after the sea of Azov, where a Crimean War naval battle was fought in 1855; a number of Victoria Crosses were awarded to Royal Navy personnel. Hamilton Evening Times September 5, 1866 : Launch At Wellington Square - Quite a large party assembled at the dock yard of the Square yesterday afternoon, to witness the launching of a new schooner which has been in process of construction for some time past. The launch was announced in the morning, but the necessary arrangements not having been completed, it was announced to take place at 3 o'clock p.m. A number of excursionists had proceeded on the Argyle, from this city, in the morning to see the launch, but were compelled either to wait or return. At 3 o'clock precisely the schooner, full rigged, was let go from the ways, and dashed out into the blue waters of Ontario amidst the cheers of the assembled spectators. Simultaneously with the launch a bottle of sherry was broken on the vessel's deck, and Miss Kate Bunten [Bunton] christened the new schooner the \"AZOV\". The craft is a neatly built one, and reflects great credit on her constructors. Her dimensions are: length of keel, 111 feet; beam, 26 feet; depth of hold, 9 feet; capacity, 14,000 bushels of grain, 20,000 feet of lumber. She is owned by Messrs. Bunten & Waldie, of Wellington Square. Her owners have our earnest wishes for the future success of the new vessel. Bunton and his business associates operated their schooner mostly on Lake Ontario during the first 18 seasons of her career. Oswego Advertiser and Times Friday, July 15, 1870 Collision and Loss of a Schooner. - On Thursday, July 7th, the propeller BRISTOL, bound up, and the schooner AZOV, bound down, collided on Lake Ontario. Immediately after the collision taking place everything was done by the captain and crew of the propeller to render assistance to the schooner, but after some time this was seen to be impossible, and the crew of the Azov was taken on board the propeller and the schooner abandoned. The schooner AZOV passed through the Welland Canal on June 17th with a cargo of wheat consigned from Chicago to Kingston. John Shaw and John Forest, of Port Lambton, Ontario, owned AZOV in 1884 and she ran in the salt and lumber trades. Salt was the northbound cargo for Owen Sound and other Georgian Bay ports. From there she would run light to a North Channel port or Manitoulin Island for lumber or cedar shingles. In May of 1894, AZOV collided with the Canadian Government fisheries cruiser PETREL near Amherstburg. At the turn of the century, AZOV was owned by W. F. Lawrence of Hamilton. By 1903 he had sold her to H. P. Laurence, of Watford, Ontario, who in turn sold her ca 1906 to Captain John McDonald of Goderich, who had her rebuilt at Sarnia. Sailing the AZOV on Lake Huron became a family affair as Captain McDonald's son Dan was the mate and his daughter Etta was in charge of the galley. On October 22, 1911, AZOV was southbound on Lake Huron loaded with lumber and shingles for Chatham. She was working her way across the mouth of Saginaw Bay in heavy weather when she began to leak. The crew exhausted themselves at the pumps and the AZOV began to settle and became unmanageable. The yawl boat was lowered and crew abandoned AZOV about 9 miles from Point Aux Barques. The abandoned schooner quickly broached to and capsized. Captain McDonald and his crew of 5, including his son and daughter, were driven away from the Michigan shore by the westerly winds. They rowed and bailed as the little yawl boat sailed across the heaving lake. Sometimes a wave would break over them and half fill the boat. The crew were in a state of exhaustion, cold and wet, and all became very drowsy. The Captain had to prod someone occasionally with his steering oar in order to keep them going. The crossing took 18 hours and they came ashore 6 miles north of Goderich. A Farms and Farminger took them to his house, where they recovered sufficiently to make the stage coach ride to Goderich. The AZOV drifted across the lake and was found by the tug McGAW about 5 miles off Kincardine. An attempt was made to tow her but she would not follow. She eventually came ashore near McGregor Point, about 4 miles south of Port Elgin. The elements broke her to pieces where she lay. Shipwrecks of the Saugeen by Patrick Folkes p. 72 On October 25th. 1911 the schooner AZOV, 212 tons bound from Johnston Harbour to Chatham with lumber, became waterlogged in a squall off Pointe Aux Barques on the American shore. Capt. John McDonald and his crew of six got into the yawl boat and after an arduous trip across the lake landed safely on the shore near Goderich. The AZOV did not sink as expected but drifted north and eventually fetched up on Belcher Reef, southwest of Port Elgin where she went to pieces. The AZOV was an old craft, built at Burlington, Ont., in 1866 by J. Simpson, and was the last schooner to be lost on the Saugeen coast.
