The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society, or the GLSHS, recently declared the discovery of a 292-foot Whaleback vessel dubbed the Barge 129. Barge 129 was revealed in Lake Superior, about 35 miles off Vermilion Point and in 650 feet of water.
It was an October storm that slammed into the two ships, snapping the tow line between the them. When the steamer tried reconnecting to the barge, strong waves shoved the two vessels together.
