A 142-year-old shipwreck was discovered ten miles off the shoreline of Algoma, Wisconsin.
The search for the Trinidad, a cargo ship built in 1867, ended two years after Brendon Baillod, president of the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association, and Robert Jaeck began it, the New York Times reported. It was found nearly fully intact under 300 feet of water in Lake Michigan.
“We were stunned to see that not only was the deckhouse still on her, but it still had all the cabinets with all the dishes stacked in them and all the crew’s effects,”Baillod told the Times, adding “It’s really like a ship in a bottle. It’s a time capsule.”
