Elusive shipwreck found on bottom of Lake Michigan after 139 years
After more than a century at the bottom of Lake Michigan, an elusive shipwreck has been found, according to the Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association.
The boat, named the F.J. King, was thought to have been lost during a powerful storm in September 1886, but it was only recently located near the Wisconsin-Michigan border with the help of sonar and remotely operated vehicles.
According to the association, the 144-foot wooden vessel sailed for 19 years before breaking apart, with pieces of debris spotted by lighthouse keepers and fishermen in the days and weeks after the sinking.
