New old wreck in the Lakes

 

The Great Lakes have numerous shipwrecks, many that have been found, and many that haven't been. This is about one that was just newly found.

‘Remarkable discovery’ as intact 1881 shipwreck found in Wisconsin waters

"The 156-year-old Trinidad vessel was located 270 feet deep near the Algoma coast by members of the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association, Brendon Baillod and Bob Jaeck, who used sonar technology to locate the vessel, based on historical records and years of research.
... 
Baillod and Jaeck discovered the Trinidad in July using sonar technology after two years of archival research, studying historical news articles and records as well as shipping lanes and nautical charts to narrow down the search area."
