A ship that disappeared on Lake Superior in 1909 has been found.
The Adella Shores, which went down on May 1, 1909, with 14 crew members aboard, has been found 650 feet below the surface and about 40 miles northwest of Whitefish Point, according to WOOD-TV this week.
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society chose Wednesday — the 115th anniversary of the sinking — to commemorate the find, which was made in 2021, according to a news release.

The release said the 735-ton, 195-foot wooden steamer was built in 1894 in Gibraltar, Michigan, and was owned by the Shores Lumber Company. The ship was named for Adella Shores, the owner’s daughter.
The release said the ship’s christening was a break with precedent.
