Remains of Shipwreck from Nearly 350 Years Ago Discovered in the U.S.

In the U.S., shipwreck 'hunters' Stevie and Kathy Libert have discovered the remains of a 'ghost ship' that sank nearly 350 years ago. This is reported by the Daily Express.

The ship in question is the 'Griffin,' which was constructed by French explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle to find routes to Asia. The vessel disappeared in 1679 while transporting a cargo of valuable fur across Lake Michigan. According to the newspaper, its disappearance has become one of America's most famous 'nautical' mysteries.

Researchers believe that the nature of the remains suggests that the ship's destruction was caused by a severe storm that lasted several days.
