Treasure hunters find mysterious shipwreck in Lake Michigan
- themartorana 12y agoLocal lore like this is always fun. If it ends up being a 100 year old tug, hey, it's still a story. If it ends up being the Griffin, even better! But this caught me: "About 1,500 shipwrecks have been found on the bottom of Lake Michigan" Holy Toledo. Knowing nothing about the region, is Lake Michigan particularly dangerous? Or are there tens of thousands of shipwrecks in the oceans? I guess I never thought the number of lost ships was so high.
- snowwrestler 12y agoThe Great Lakes can be pretty dangerous. They're large bodies of water, pretty deep and cold, and can experience very strong storms. Over the years they've carried a lot of commerce and some big ships have gone down there. That said, there probably are tens of thousands of shipwrecks in the oceans as well.
