SS Keystorm was a steel freighter that sank in 1912 after hitting Scow Island shoal.[1] The sinking was considered the most significant accident in the area for the previous 50 years.

After the sinking, the captain and first mate were found guilty of negligence.[2]

The wreck was sold in 1917 and her cargo salvaged in 1919.
