TL;DR Summary

The steel freighter Huronton, which sank to the bottom of Lake Superior 100 years ago, has been discovered by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society. The shipwreck tells the story of the collision between the Huronton and the Cetus in 1923, where the swift actions of the Cetus captain saved the crew of the sinking vessel. The first mate of the Huronton also risked his life to rescue the ship's mascot, a bulldog, before the ship sank. The discovery of shipwrecks is seen as exciting because they provide a glimpse into the past.
