(FOX NEWS) – Wisconsin researchers recently discovered a
145-year-old shipwreck in a murky river, and it was a complete
surprise. The vessel was found with sonar during the search for
a different ship.

Archaeologists were trying to map a different shipwreck, the
Berlin City vessel (shown below).

The Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association (WUAA),
the organization that led the trip, confirmed the discovery of
the L.W. Crane to Fox News Digital. The ship was found near
the city of Oshkosh.

Historians believe the vessel, built in 1865, sank in 1880.
