Enjoy the recording of Frozen in Time: Lake Michigan Shipwreck with diver and photographer Cal Kothrade. Watch: http://bit.ly/DPLShipwreck
Though the W.C. Kimball was not unlike many other schooners that sailed the inland seas during the late 1800’s, it's the incredible condition she is in now that makes her one of the most significant finds ever.
Diver and artist Cal Kothrade tells the story of how shipwreck hunter Ross Richardson found the Wisconsin-built vessel, and of the diverse team that would eventually solve the mystery of this sail away’s name. Through video, photographs and artwork, Cal discusses the condition of the wreck today, and the forensic clues which led to its identification, as well as what the ill-fated ship and the crew's final hours might have been like.
