Great lakes shipwrecks

At least 6,000 ships are documented to have gone missing on the Great Lakes since the late 1600s, although that number is likely much higher.

The long-missing tugboat, the Satellite, that sank June 21, 1879, wasn't the ship they were looking for, but finding it was satisfying nonetheless.
