The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society discovered the wreckage of “The Western Reserve” that sank 132 years ago in Lake Superior. The tragic event in 1892 killed 27 people onboard and left only one survivor.

For almost 132 years, the lake hid the wreckage. In July, explorers from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society pinpointed the Western Reserve off Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The society announced the discovery Saturday at the annual Ghost Ships Festival in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Every shipwreck has its own story, but some are just that much more tragic,” said Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society Executive Director Bruce Lynn.
