Great Mystery of the Great Lakes Is Solved

"Of the remaining shipwrecks left to find in the Great Lakes, the Clifton would easily be number one," says shipwreck hunter David Trotter. That's because the disappearance of the SS Clifton in 1924 is "one of the Great Lakes' greatest mysteries"—and one that Trotter now says he has partially solved. 

During a survey of Lake Huron in June 2016, Trotter and his team discovered two shipwrecked schooners along with a third target they decided to investigate later. Upon returning to the site in September 2016, divers identified it as a whaleback steamer—and Trotter was overwhelmed. "The Clifton was the only whaleback ship left in Lake Huron that hadn't already been found," he tells WZZM for the first time. He was sure it was the Clifton, a ship he had been searching for since 1987.
