The wreck of a “ghost ship” cargo schooner that sank off a Wisconsin coastline during a ferocious storm has finally been uncovered 140 years later.
A team led by researcher Brandon Baillod found the remains of the “F.J. King” ship on June 28, the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association confirmed on Monday.
Baillod, who had been leading the search for the long-lost vessel, told The Associated Press in an email that the discovery came after decades of researchers scouring the depths of Lake Michigan.
The shipwreck was discovered off Bailey’s Harbor, a small community of 280 people on Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula that stretches into Lake Michigan.
