A ship lost at sea has been recovered 132 years after it sank, a historical preservation society announced this week.
The Western Reserve, a 318-foot steel steamer, was wrecked 60 miles northwest of Whitefish Point in Lake Superior on August 30, 1892. The ship got caught in a storm that caused the crew to drop anchor and wait for better conditions. Strong winds ultimately overtook the vessel around 9:00 p.m., causing it to break up and sink.
