They Investigated It
John Hanson, president of the West Michigan Underwater Preserve, was one of those who braved the frigid waters of Lake Michigan to examine the wreck’s decaying timbers. That group collaborates with the state of Michigan to investigate and protect shipwrecks and other archeological sites along the lake’s western coast.

Hanson evaluated the wreck and discovered that it was 88 feet long and 21 feet wide. He estimated that the vessel was a cargo-carrying barge created in the nineteenth century. “The wreck is about one-third covered up now,” Hanson told Fox News. “Wave action has resulted in the loss of a few boards.”
