Historic shipwreck found in Lake Superior

Research teams have found the resting place of an infamous 1890s shipwreck in Lake Superior. The Great Lakes Historical Society over the weekend announced the discovery of the wreck of the Western Reserve, a coal hauling freighter and one of the first all steel ships to sail on the Great Lakes. The ship tragically foundered and sank near Whitefish Bay, killing 27 people including the owner’s family who were on board for a cruise through the lakes. Only one person survived. Researchers say a light recovered during the sinking, currently on display at the National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo, Ohio matches one spotted by survey teams
