The ship is in pretty good shape for being down there since 1899.
You should go look at some of the WWII crashed aircraft that have been recovered from Lake Michigan (there were two paddle-wheel training aircraft carriers that operated there during the war) over the years. A good number of which have been restored and returned to flight.
The big issue now is that the Lake is being invaded by Zebra Mussels. The most recent (I think) warbird recovery - a rare early Birdcage F4U Corsair - was covered in them.

I cannot believe that no one has found the Northwest Orient DC4 that went down in Lake Michigan in 1950 with 58 people on it.
