- The Lac La Belle wreck was found about 20 miles offshore between Racine and Kenosha, Wisconsin, marking a major discovery after decades of searches.
- The hull remains largely intact, with quagga mussels on the exterior, while the upper cabins are gone but the oak interiors stay in good condition for a 19th-century wreck.
- The discovery adds to a broader effort in the Great Lakes to locate and study shipwrecks, as researchers work to map hundreds of remaining underwater sites.
