SS John B. Lyon was an 1881 built American wooden bulk carrier steamer. On 12 September 1900, during the Great Storm of 1900 the steamer with a cargo of 80,000 iron ore was sunk in a gale, the remnants of the hurricane that hit Galveston, Texas, on Lake Erie off Conneaut near Ashtabula, Ohio, a total loss. Nine crewmen were killed, seven people survived.[1][2]
