The Africa disappeared in a snowstorm 128 years ago with her entire crew of 11 sailors.
Documentary filmmakers using a remotely operated vehicle to search the lakebed of Lake Huron said they found the wreck of a ship that disappeared 128 years ago, losing its entire crew.The ship has been identified as the Africa, which was built in 1874 and sank two decades later while traveling from Ashtabula, Ohio to Owen Sound, Ontario, according to a news release announcing the find.
' Melnick had been piloting the vehicle from a control station in the boat's cabin, so he, Drebert and others on the boat saw what the robot was seeing in real-time. 'We couldn't believe it,' Melnick said. The ship was encrusted in invasive quagga mussels, which carpet the lakes and have damaged wrecks in the area. The couple's documentary, 'All Too Clear' studies the impact these mussels have on the area.
