Not exactly a shipwreck ... REALLY interesting news about a 1,200 year old Indian (Native American) dugout canoe found and recovered from Wisconsin's Lake Mendota. If you didn't know, Lake Mendota is adjacent to the capital city of Wisconsin, where the University of Wisconsin is also located.
According to the article linked below, the canoe was discovered by an archaeologist, but she wasn't looking for it when she was just having a fun dive in the lake.
The next thing they'll do with it is stick it back into a tank of water with some chemicals to kill anything that might eat it, and then slowly impregnate it with resin. It'll be awhile before it goes on display.
