Pretty cool discovery. But one thing I noticed was this form the article: "It’s believed that on the evening of Oct. 8, 1871, the ship was sailing through the smoke of the Great Peshtigo Fire, one of the deadliest in American history. It’s said the fire claimed roughly 1,500 or more lives." WTAH? There were forest fires in the 1870's? Pretty sure they are a modern problem related to globull warming. No way they were caused by climate change eh?

What’s even more amazing is this wasn’t discovered far sooner in only 8-10 ft of water

I have never heard of the “Green Bay octopus.” This is akin to Nessie?

Great Peshtigo Fire, one of the deadliest in American history.
I believe it was the same day as the Chicago fire. More lives were lost, but since it was in the ‘middle of nowhere’ it isn’t as well known even though more lives were lost.

Alpena, Michigan was basically burned out three times between 1871 and 1888.

The Peshtigo fire was the same day as “The Great Chicago Fire”.
Got buried in the aftermath of the Chicago fire.
