Lost shipwrecks of Lake Superior discovered after a century

Researchers from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society have discovered the wreckage of two ships that sank into Lake Superior in 1914, owned by the Edward Hines Lumber Company, killing all 28 people aboard. The steamship C.F. Curtis was towing the schooner barges Selden E. Marvin and Annie M. Peterson when a storm swept through. The society hopes to find the third ship that sank at the same time. The wrecks were discovered farther into the lake than the 1914 accounts suggested, and there was damage to the Marvin’s bow and the Curtis’ stern, making researchers wonder whether a collision contributed.
