Shipwreck found after 112 years at the bottom of Lake Michegan...

 Shipwreck found after 112 years at the bottom of Lake Michegan...


A wooden steamship lost for more than a century has been found at the bottom of Lake Michigan.



The LR Doty had not been seen since sinking in a wild storm while transporting a cargo of corn from South Chicago to Canada in 1898.



A dive crew from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Research team took stunning photos of the wreck, which lies close to 100m below the surface.



The 90m-long ship remains in immaculate condition after being preserved by the icy waters.
