Searchers have discovered the wreck of a luxury steamer that sank in a Lake Michigan gale in the late 19th century, completing a quest that began almost 60 years ago.
Shipwreck hunters discovered the wreck of luxury steamer Lac La Belle that sank in Lake Michigan in 1872, located 20 miles off the Wisconsin shoreline.
A group that works to discover shipwrecks around the world, announced Friday that a team led by shipwreck hunter Paul Ehorn found the Lac La Belle about 20 miles offshore between Racine and Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Shipwreck experts revealed on Sunday that they have located the remains of the steamer that sank while traveling through Lake Michigan more than 150 years ago.
