Sunken Ship

From 2009 WKTV 2, Utica, NY.

A sunken ship believed to be two centuries old may be raised from the bottom of Lake Erie and put on display.

Northeast Research, LLC, has the rights and plan to put it in a tank for viewing. It will cost $4 million and the company plans to give it to the city of Buffalo for $1 on a 99-year lease.

A 1797 British coin and an American one from 1834 have been recovered from it, so it dates to the early 1800s. It is one of 90 shipwrecks in Lake Erie.
