After searching for two years, researchers discovered the shipwreck of the Western Reserve, an early all-steel ship that broke apart in a gale in 1892 with a sole survivor.

Twenty years before the Titanic changed maritime history, another ship touted as the next great technological feat set sail on the Great Lakes.

Around 200 ships have sunk in Whitefish Bay, the same place where the Western Reserve broke apart. The most notable in the area happened in 1975 when the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, an American freighter, wrecked, killing 29 people on board.
