July 20: Has the SS Chicora been located?

Update: The century-old mystery of what happened to the SS Chicora may be near a solution thanks to the efforts of Taras Lyssenko and his company,  A and T Recovery.

The company recently discovered the wreck of a ship they believe to be the Chicora at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

“We put out a hypothesis, and people can look at it to prove or disprove,” he said. “We have been comparing data from lost ships with what we can see from the sonar scan and that ship most closely matches.”. I

t can’t be identified until a remotely operated vehicle with a video camera is sent for a closer look.

Lyssenko hopes that can be done soon.
