Looks like a bunch of divers have achieved something that women’s suffrage, Civil Rights, the Americans with Disabilities Act and, most recently, a bunch of racist lawmakers in Arizona could never do: find diversity.
A great wooden steamship that sank more than a century ago in a violent Lake Michigan storm has been found off the Milwaukee-area shoreline, and divers say the intact vessel appears to have been perfectly preserved by the cold fresh waters.
Finding the 300-foot-long L.R. Doty was important because it was the largest wooden ship that remained unaccounted for, said Brendon Baillod, the president of the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association.
“It’s the biggest one I’ve been involved with,” said Baillod, who has taken part in about a dozen such finds. “It was really exhilarating.”
I know I’m exhilarated.
Or perhaps that’s just the pleats.
I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship, which was reportedly located near Milwaukee after Baxter barked twice.
