Is it at all possible to bring it up?

What a beauty!

[SunkenCiv]

I suspect so, but paying for it could be an issue.

[Sacajaweau]

Wonder what’s in the cargo hold.

My boat!

You found it!

Thanks man. Can you bring it to me?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Are your firearms on it?
Canada might have an issue...

[blitz128]

Mine as well😂

Wait, Gordon Lightfoot didn't write a song on it...

In all seriousness, the Great Lakes are amazing for shipwrecks. The cold water keeps the boat's from rotting away...

“The two-masted schooner was fully intact”

I saw the picture, and I question this statement.

Looks like more than one shipwreck and it’s mighty bright to be three hundred feet down. Wondering if this is AI or a clip from a movie.

I think it's law now that there has to be Fine Jewelry in every shipwreck. They're calling this one, 'The Heart of the Lake.' :)

[Albion Wilde]

Amazing that the rigging is still there.

The wreck is probably the first Andrea Doria.

The two-masted schooner was fully intact

I don't think it had enough hull left to float. The photograph most certainly doesn't scream out "fully intact". It does bear the original overall shape.

I’ll get right on it. The next ‘splashdown’ meeting of the Polar Bears is quite near it.

Must have been running drugs.
