A 'cursed' wooden steamship that vanished in Lake Superior in 1909 with 14 crew members on board has finally been discovered.

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society say they found the Adella Shores after it went missing on May 1, 1909, in Whitefish Point, Michigan.

Adella Shores - which locals feared had been cursed after its sober owners christened it by smashing a bottle of water on its hull rather than booze - was found more than 40 miles northwest of Whitefish Point in over 650 feet of water. The 195-foot ship was built in Gibraltar, Michigan, and weighed in at 735-ton, being owned by the Shores Lumber Company.

Footage taken of the wreckage show the large wooden appears to have remained largely intact in the water.

"Shades of 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.'"

Yes, Whitefish Point must be a dangerous place.

The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay
If they’d put fifteen more miles behind her....................

And now all that’s left, are the faces and the names, of the wives and the sons and the daughters

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin’, “Fellas, it’s too rough to feed ya”

At 7 p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said, “Fellas, it’s been good to know ya”

That’s BS.

Uncle Bosey was in his home-built dilithium crystal-driven submarine and he torpedo’d it because it was carrying Puerto Rican slaves to pick tobacco in Canada. No joke!

"Look... okay...it is time, okay? (cackling)... for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Full stop, okay? Full stop. (cackling) Every day it is time for us, okay, to do the thing we do, and to agree that there are things to do, and it is time... okay? and there are tools that help us do the things on time! They are available to us in time to do things! (cackling)

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee

...looks big enough to land aircraft in there.
