I thought they had found this ship a few years back.

It was crazy that the Belle was found many years back. It was persistence and that old gut feeling.

These guys are pretty certain...but they were pretty certain a couple years back, too....and they're very close to that site.

I have a feeling that these guys have some (undiscovered) writings that are telling them to stay in that area....and that gut feeling.

We'll see.

I've always thought the Griffin sailed south to near the southern end of Michigan, the crew stole the furs and sunk the ship. Mutiny was so "in".

...Michigan Department of Natural Resources...claims ow
nership over all Great Lakes shipwrecks in the state’s waters, although it acknowledges France would have rights to the Griffin because it was sailing under the authority of King Louis XIV.

Why would France still have rights to it after all of this time? Would it not be considered abandoned?
