Oh for crying out loud. The article says Lake Huron, but Thunder Bay is the main Canadian grain port on lake SUPERIOR.

Never mind (where is delete when you need it)? Turns out there is a Thunder Bay in Michigan on Lake Huron as well....

“Archaeologists study things to learn about the past. But it’s not really things that we’re studying; it’s people,” Gray said. “And that lifeboat ... really connects you to the site and reminds you of how powerful the lakes are and what it must have been like to work on them and lose people on them.”

This is very true. The ultimate power of Nature, and it’s ultimate disregard of your life, or anyone or anything else’s, it’s awesome, litterally.

Officials have kept the find secret to prevent divers from disturbing the site before video and photo documentation is finished.

Video footage shows the Ironton sitting upright on the lake bottom, hundreds of feet down — “remarkably preserved” by the cold, fresh water like many other Great Lakes shipwrecks, Gray said.

Now I'm just a lowly recreational diver, but I'm pretty sure "hundreds of feet down" is far deeper than any diver can go regardless of skill or training.
