Amazing find. I wonder if human remains are also preserved at that depth and temperature.

Anyone else think it's odd that the title says the ship sank more than 130 years ago but the article says the ship sank in 1940?
Yeah, it's odd. Wikipedia lists the sinking as 1892.
Across the five Great Lakes. There's three recorded sinkings in 1940, and none are the Western Reserve. The Arlington was found February of last year. Maybe there was some context lost from one writer copying another.

Looks like it's only the captions that mention 1940, the rest of the article correctly states 1892 for the sinking, which lines up with the wiki
