In 1872, the Lac La Belle sank in a Lake Michigan storm, but its wreck stayed hidden until a 60-year search finally paid off

On the night of October 13, 1872, the steamer Lac La Belle left Milwaukee for Grand Haven, Michigan, carrying 53 passengers and crew along with a cargo of barley, pork, flour and whiskey. About two hours into the voyage, the ship began taking on water uncontrollably, and the captain turned back toward Milwaukee, only for huge waves to extinguish the boiler fires and the storm to drive the vessel south.
