On Isle Royale in Lake Superior there is a body that's 90yrs old in the Engine Room.

Yes all the time. We call him the Engineer. Is is always looking over the room for us, and in the past helped a few divers out.

I have been doing a search and cannot find any information about a wreck by that name. Can you supply a link?

Agreed, I think I found an 'island' by that name, but not a specific wreck.
