Remains of historic shipwreck trapped in limbo

September 10, 2010 - 06:34 — glbm

Swimming through the murky depths of Lake Michigan, scuba divers came upon a ghostly shape looming in the greenish gloom. An anchor stood upright, embedded in the sandy bottom, trailing a long chain that had caught on a boulder. Beyond lay the remnants of a ship, its wooden ribs picked clean of their hull, like the carcass of a long-beached whale. Strewn along the lake floor were a broken china plate, a boiler and a rifle dating from before the Civil War.
