The shipwrecked schooner barge Selden E. Marvin was one of three vessels that sank during a storm over 100 years ago. In April, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS) announced the ship’s discovery—retrieving a piece of the historic puzzle.

They captured haunting footage of the schooner, thrillingly revealing her partially-preserved name board, broken helm, and now surely waterlogged cargo: lumber. Doors still hang on hinges, while haunting portals entice voyeurs to peer inside.
