A 156-year old schooner, the Trinidad, that sank in Lake Michigan on May 11, 1881, was found mostly intact, the Wisconsin Historical Society announced Friday.
After a two-year search with sonar, Wisconsin maritime historians Brendon Baillod and Bob Jaeck found the Trinidad 270 feet deep in the waters of Lake Michigan off Algoma, Wisconsin on July 15, 2023, the state historical society wrote on Facebook.
Despite the lucrative trade, the boat’s owners John Keller and Aaron Mariam did not put in the money to keep the vessel in good condition. By May 10, 1881, the boat was headed down the Lake Michigan shoreline towards Milwaukee. In the wee hours of May 11, however, the Trinidad met its end. The crew was not initially worried about incoming water, as the ill-kept boat had suffered leaks for years.
