Yes, that would be a wonderful old schooner to put on display. But, it is very expensive to raise and even very more expensive to preserve. Years ago they raised the schooner Alvin Clark an it eventually fell apart and ended up in a land fill ! Best we can do to show everyone what an old ship like this looks like is to capture the video as you have seen here. Cheers, Jim
I think it would be great if this ship was raised and put on display somewhere. There was no loss of life, so it's not a grave site. Too good to be left in the lake to further decay.
My father and his friend were the first to find this ship. Great story on how they discovered it first, and it made the papers. So the discovery does not go to jim and his crew.
@@shipwreckworld in 2009 they found it. They took a good year to make sure it was the correct ship that they had found before going to the news papers. A Heidi Smalling wrote a few articles one starting in August 2010. The news paper changed named a few time over the years, but you could look into The Post Harold, WAYUGA Printing & Publishing, or The Times of Wayne County.
The zebra and quagga mussels have been coming into the lake for over 15 years. In areas were there is wave action and current the shipwrecks are getting damaged faster because the mussels occasionally break off in clumps taking some of the wood with them. The Queen of the Lakes is in deep water and will not be damaged as quickly.

When did they locate the ship? Their story never appeared in the Rochester newspapers.

Amazing how it looks just as it did a hundred years ago.
It's so intact that i expect it to pop up and set sail any moment.
