A 144-foot steamship that sank more than 150 years ago in Lake Superior has been found, officials with a shipwreck museum said Wednesday.
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society said a Barquentine sailing vessel named "Nucleus" was found in 2021 in 600 feet of the lake's water about 40 miles northwest of Vermilion Point. The ship sank on Sept. 14, 1869.
Officials for the group said The Nucleus is one of the oldest ships to sink along Lake Superior's Shipwreck Coast.
