A 19th Century Ship has been found in Lake Ontario, for those of you not in North America, think in-land sea, calling them lakes is an insult to how large these things are. Anyway, being the sole mode of transportation for a few centuries, the lakes have had their share of maritime disasters and the lake bed is strewn with once might ships.
Looks like a pair of shipwreck explorers have found one of these lost souls, the Milan, which sank in the 1840s and do to the magic of a fresh water, low oxygen environment, the ship is still intact. They built and used an ROV to film/explorer this wreck which is approx 200 feet down.
Now all they need to do is get a group of tech divers out there.
