MESSAGE: 
Elusive shipwreck found in Lake Michigan over 100 years after sinking 
<a >rutor-24 at</a> 
A “ghost ship” that sank in Lake Michigan nearly 140 years ago and
eluded several search efforts over the past five decades has been
found, according to researchers with the Wisconsin Underwater
Archeology Association. 

The wooden schooner got caught in a storm in the dead of night and
went down in September 1886. In the weeks after, a lighthouse keeper
reported the ship’s masts breaking the lake surface, and fishermen
caught pieces of the vessel in their nets. Still, wreck hunters were
unable to track down the ship’s location — until now.

Earlier this year, a team of researchers with the Wisconsin Underwater
Archeology Association and Wisconsin Historical Society located the
shipwreck off the coastal town of Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, the
association announced on Sunday. 

Named the F.J. King, the ship had become a legend within the Wisconsin
wreck hunter community for its elusive nature, said maritime historian
Brendon Baillod, principal investigator and project lead of the
discovery. 

“We really wanted to solve this mystery, and we didn’t expect
to,” Baillod told CNN. “(The ship) seemed to have just vanished
into thin air. … I actually couldn’t believe we found it.” 

The wreck is just one of many that have been found in the Great Lakes
in recent years, and there are still hundreds left to be recovered in
Lake Michigan alone, according to Baillod. 

The ‘ghost ship’ 
Built in 1867, the F.J. King plied the waters of the Great Lakes for
the purpose of trans-lake commerce. The ship transported grains during
a time when Wisconsin served as the breadbasket of the United States.
The 144-foot-long (44-meter) vessel also carried cargo including iron
ore, lumber and more. 

The ship had a lucrative 19-year career until that September night
when a gale-force wind caused its seams to break apart, according to
the announcement. The captain, William Griffin, ordered the crew to
evacuate on the ship’s yawl boat, from where they watched the F.J.
King sink, bow first.
