Wasn't this the new shipwreck recently uncovered by Diving Ivestigation for the Verification and Exploration of Remains on the Bottom of Rivers and Inland Aquafers Nationwide....?

Hmm - I thought I saw a press release posted on another forum. I'll see if I can dig it up... If I recall, the cargo hold was full of cotton, timber, and carbon fiber tennis rackets.

From Chris Kohl's "101 Best Great Lakes Shipwrecks"

"Captain Morgan set out from Chicago en route to Detroit (Rock City) on a calm summer day when a butterfly flapped its wings up on the St. Lawrence waterway. The resulting rogue wave passed through customs in Sarnia after a brief albiet violent restroom break and swept across Lake Huron where the unsuspecting 'Nikova' was making way in calm seas. The wave rocked the mighty freighter where the bow struck a patch of Russian Zebra Mussels slicing through the steel hull like a pair of 3mm neoprene gloves. Over the next 30 hours the once crown jewel of the Great Lakes was left lying on the lakes bottom. Remarkably enough all hands were rescued save Captain Morgans trophy winning Chiwawa."

ROFLMAO!!!!! So much for having a dry desktop!

I know... I know... I'm going to hell......

Is that what Florida is called during hurricane season? :06:
