Underwater Stoneage

In our history classes, we have all read about the stone age and how we evolved from it. But soon the kids will study the underwater stone age. A team of archeologists from Northwestern Michigan discovered objects that resembled the Stonehenge of England. They even saw a carving that was said to be of mastodon which was a giant elephant.

Longest Shipwreck

In the year 1849, a ship called James McBride was launched to deliver goods from the Atlantic Ocean to Great Lakes. Eight years later in 1857, it was returning from Chicago after delivering the order of woods from Manitou, when it got caught up in the rough wind. The ship sank and now it rests near the Sleeping Bear Point.

Geological Formation

“Ocean X” a team of divers from Sweden, was diving at the center of the Gulf of Bothnia in the northern Baltic Sea when they discovered a strange object. Initially many theories were introduced about what this object could be. Some believed it to be a UFO plane that sank in water but the scientists cleared all the doubts and told that it was just natural geological formation.

Ghost Grandpa

In 1927, SS Kamloops sank without any trace and no one could understand as to where the ship vanished along with its 22 crew members. In 1977, it was finally discovered in the Isle Royale in Lake Superior. It is believed that the Old Whitey follows divers throughout the engine room, which is an experience that some divers have also felt.

The Practice Ship

Douglas SBC Dive Bomber was a dual purpose plane. It was utilized as the scouting plane as well as a dive bomber. It was given to new pilots for practice. It must have sunk while a pilot was practicing. After 65 years, the plane was found but there were no human remains.

Rock

If you ever find a piece of rock in the lake, there are a lot of chances you would just throw the piece of rock back thinking it to be just a random rock. But actually, it is Pharyngeal teeth, which was found by a kid. This piece is composed of the hard movable plates. A lot of fishes use pharyngeal teeth to crush the external skeleton (which is also called exoskeleton) of their prey.
