Crew’s Tragic Voyage to Sink on Lake Superior, 1905’s ‘Missouri’ Uncovered by Researchers

Post summary in WordPress tag format:
Unusual archaeological discovery made when the MN Department of Transportation accidentally uncovers three historic shipwrecks dating back to early 1800s near a Minnesota highway under development. The ships, now fully submerged, fell victim to a catastrophic autumn storm in 1892. The vessels were part of a small fleet intent on establishing a cross-lake shipping route in what was then the westernmost edge of a pioneering company, the Cleveland-based Connecticut Land Co., also known as the Western Reserve. The ships’ disastrous sinking became a cautionary tale that helped inspire the U.S. Coast Guard.
