1909 Shipwreck - Lake Superior

From FOX News:
Historians in Michigan recently announced that a shipwreck dating back more than a century has been discovered at the bottom of Lake Superior.

The Adella Shores, a wooden steamship built in 1894, was carrying salt to Duluth, Minnesota, when it mysteriously disappeared on May 1, 1909.

None of the ship's 14 sailors were ever heard from again, according to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS), located in Paradise, Michigan.
