The 191-foot cargo vessel collided with a grain hauler on a blustery night in September 1894, sinking both. Only two crew members survived.
Even for the Thunder Bay area, a perilous swath of northern Lake Huron off the Michigan coast that has devoured many a ship, the Ironton’s fate seems particularly cruel.
Officials have kept the find secret to prevent divers from disturbing the site before video and photo documentation is finished. The search and inspections involved a number of organizations, including Ocean Exploration Trust, founded by Robert Ballard, who located the sunken wreckage of the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck.
Others ranged northward to Lake Superior, fetching iron ore for steel mills from mines in Minnesota and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
