Father and daughter stumble upon century-old shipwreck while fishing on Lake Michigan

A father and his 6-year-old daughter, who were fishing on Lake Michigan, stumbled upon the never-before-seen wreck of a ship that sunk in 1871. The shipwreck, believed to be the barkentine George L. Newman, was discovered off Wisconsin's Green Island. The vessel had been abandoned and largely forgotten until the pair spotted it. The father is now planning to continue fishing in hopes of finding more shipwrecks. The Wisconsin Historical Society will survey the wreck in the spring for possible listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
