Wooden steamship lost 115 years ago found in Lake Superior
WHITEFISH POINT, Mich. (WJRT) - The wooden steamship Adella Shores vanished below the surface of Lake Superior with no distress calls and no survivors 115 years ago.
On the anniversary of its sinking, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society announced it discovered the shipwreck 650 feet underwater and about 40 miles northwest of Whitefish Point in the Upper Peninsula.
The Adella Shores was a 195-foot wooden steamer built in 1894 for the Shores Lumber Company. The vessel, which was christened with a bottle of water rather than wine or champagne, sank twice in shallow water and got repaired.
