Wisconsin Boater Discovers Hidden Shipwreck in Lake Michigan

A Wisconsin boater discovered the long-lost 1867 shipwreck of the Frank D. Barker in Lake Michigan, which had been stranded on Spider Island after running aground in 1887. The shipwreck, largely intact despite weathering, was confirmed through archaeological efforts, marking a significant historical find after 138 years. The discovery was personally meaningful for the boater, who shared the experience with his son.
