Divers find shipwreck in Lake Michigan off Sheboygan coast

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - A maritime historian from Sheboygan and his group of divers have located an 85-year-old shipwreck in Lake Michigan.

The 101-foot wooden tugboat steamer named Robert C. Pringle sank about six miles off the Sheboygan shore on July 19, 1922. The crew got into lifeboats and was saved.

The wreck has been undisturbed for more than 85 years. This month, maritime historian Steve Radovan and his group of divers found the wreck and videotaped it.

Radovan, 61, has been searching for the Pringle since the 1970s. He found the wrecks of two other schooners, the Floretta and the Home, both of which sank in the 1800s, while searching for the Pringle...[Chicago Tribune]
