Searchers have found a long-lost Great Lakes ship that came to a tragic end. Officials with the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Alpena, Michigan, say they ve located the Ironton,
Video footage shows the Ironton sitting upright on the lake bottom, hundreds of feet down “remarkably preserved” by the cold, fresh water like many other Great Lakes shipwrecks.
The Ironton was a 191-foot cargo vessel that collided with another ship in rough seas in 1894. Its whereabouts had long eluded shipwreck hunters, until now.
