The Ironton, a cargo ship that sank in 1894 and has evaded shipwreck hunters for more than a century, has finally been found in Lake Huron.

Searchers have found a long-lost Great Lakes ship that came to a tragic end.

Even for the Thunder Bay area, a perilous swath of northern Lake Huron off the Michigan coast that has devoured many a ship, the Ironton’s fate seems particularly cruel. The Ironton’s captain and six sailors clambered into a lifeboat but it was dragged to the bottom before they could detach it from the ship. Now, the mystery has been solved, officials with Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Alpena, Michigan, said Wednesday.

In a statement issued late Friday, U.S. Northern Command said “search activities have discovered no debris” from either encounter.

Scientists have fanned out across the Great Lakes' frozen surfaces to learn what happens underwater during winter.

In the wake of a potent cold front that will track through the Northeast early Thanksgiving week, the coldest air of the season will bring temperatures plummeting to levels more typical of mid-December to the Great Lakes region and Northeast. The wintry chill will also fuel the lake-effect snow machine, sending snow squalls barreling across the region. As a storm brings rain to the Ohio Valley and into the Northeast through Sunday night, the cold front associated with the storm will sweep throug
