Maritime historians found a schooner that sank in 1881 intact in Lake Michigan. Brendon Baillod and Robert Jaeck found the shipwreck of the 156-year-old vessel back in July. The vessel is so well-preserved that its crew's possessions are still present. Baillod and Jaeck found the vessel by reading historical accounts of the shipwreck by survivors, then deploying side-scan sonar to track its location more accurately. AdvertisementAdvertisementLake Michigan shipwrecks are often found intact due to the lake's cold and fresh waters, which tend to preserve many items found onboard the sunken vessels.

On the early morning of May 11, 1881, Capt. John Higgins and his eight-man crew scurried onto a lifeboat and caught a final glimpse of their schooner, Trinidad, as it disappeared into the icy waters of Lake Michigan. After 142 years, its wreckage has finally been discovered. Trinidad was built at Grand Island, N.Y., in 1867 and was used as a cargo ship in the lucrative grain trade between Milwaukee, Chicago and Oswego, N.Y., according to a news release. “A lot of these schooners were built for one thing,” Mr. Baillod said in a phone interview on Friday evening.
