Saw today on the Detroit TV news, an historic Shipwreck has recently been discovered and found on Lake Michigan! I don’t recall the name of the vessel that sank in a Gale Storm but it happened 139 years ago. The vessel was loaded with iron ore from Escanaba and on its way South on Lake Michigan when it got caught in the Gale and sank. Not sure about any survivors but I thought I heard they were picked up by another vessel? Can anyone please provide or share more information on this historic find and discovery, maybe the story can and will be posted on the News Page in time I’m sure. Thanks.
