It’s an underwater museum full of beautifully preserved relics from the 1850s, experts say.
Divers found the ship Westmoreland, which sank in Lake Michigan in 1854 as a result of a storm. Then 17 people died, Express reports.
On board the ship was a valuable cargo of gold coins and 300 barrels of whiskey. The ship was headed for Mackinac Island. Only a few passengers escaped.
The ship all this time was at a depth of about 55 meters under the waters of Platte Bay.
The Westmoreland stands upright on the bottom of the lake, and can be distinguished by the “bully” arches that run along either side of the ship. Although the recovery of artifacts from sunken ships in the Great Lakes is prohibited without permission, negotiations are underway to save the cargo,” the divers said.
