Tune In: Monday, July 3 @ 10pm ET/PT
The 1870s were a time of boom and bust on the Great Lakes,
with more than a thousand ships competing for business. On
November 27th, 1875, the Cornelia B. Windiate--a canal
schooner--is sent on one last, late-season run from
Milwaukee to Buffalo. It's a bet against Mother Nature that
few ship owners or crewmen will take...and this time they
lose. The weather takes a drastic turn for the worse and the
Windiate disappears. For more than 100 years, it's assumed
that the ship was lost in Lake Michigan. But when she's
found, it's in another lake altogether! There's not a mark
on her. No crew. No sign of what caused her to sink. Our
hosts and veteran divers, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler,
dive to examine one of the world's most pristine shipwrecks
and help develop a new solution to one the strangest
mysteries of the Great Lakes.
