Reported on Shipwreck World and confirmed by the Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association and Wisconsin Historical Society, the find reveals the legendary F.J King resting near baileys harbor.
A passing schooner eventually rescued the crew, but the F.J King was gone, swallowed by the lake.
… I actually couldn’t believe we found it.”Remote-operated vehicles soon confirmed what they were seeing: the F.J King, astonishingly well preserved, had finally been found.
The wheel of the F.J King rests on the lakebed of lake michigan, positioned just behind the ship’s stern.
