Wooden steamship that sank in 1909 discovered in Lake Superior

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society has made a significant discovery, locating the wreckage of the Adella Shores, a wooden steamship that vanished in Lake Superior in 1909.

After 115 years of mystery, the ship was found more than 40 miles northwest of Whitefish Point, resting in over 650 feet of water.

Using advanced marine sonic technology, Darryl Ertel and his brother identified the ship’s distinctive design during a summer 2021 expedition.

Maritime historian Fred Stonehouse highlights the importance of such discoveries in unraveling the stories of lost ships and their crews.

The Adella Shores, named after the owner’s daughter, faced challenges throughout its service life, including two previous sinkings in shallow waters, CBS News has reported.
