Treasure hunters have discovered the wreck of the “Griffin” ship that disappeared 343 years ago, according to mir24. The vessel was built by the French explorer Rene-Robert Cavalier de La Salem and was intended to search for routes to Asia.
However, while transporting a cargo of valuable furs across Lake Michigan in 1679, the ship disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The disappearance of the ship has become one of the most common "Sea" mysteries of America and has attracted hunters for sunk ships all these years. According to the legends that went around the lost ship, the ship was either cursed by the Iroquois shaman, or burned by the Indians. There were also those, who believed that the ship had become a ghost. But treasure hunters Stevie and Katie Liebert were able to shed light on the mysterious disappearance and identify previously found wreckage. According to the researchers, the wreckage found at the bottom of the lake belongs to the “Griffin” ship, and the most likely cause of the ship's death is a multi-day storm.
