On Aug 11, 2025, at around 11 p.m. the United States Coast Guard Northern Sector Great Lakes was notified that the 'Radcliffe R. Latimer' had experienced an engine room fire while underway in Canadian waters near the US-Canada border and Whitefish Bay. The crew was able to extinguish the fire using its installed CO2 system, but they were originally drifting without power. They have since been able to anchor with a tug assisting about five nautical miles southeast of Ile Parisienne. The Coast Guard responded with a 45-foot response boat from Sault Ste. Marie, which got on scene just as a safety standby. There wrre 21 crew members on board the vessel. There were no injuries reported, and the station's small boat reported that there were no signs of pollution in the water.
