Part of a 19th-century schooner, up to 270 feet long, washed ashore in Erieau, Lake Erie.

A 10-meter section of a 19th-century schooner, potentially up to 270 feet long, has washed ashore in Erieau, Lake Erie. Discovered by local resident Jeff Vidler, the wreckage has sparked interest among historians. University of Michigan professor John O'Shea analyzed photos and noted the hull section could drift with currents. Vidler plans to use sonar to find more parts, while O'Shea suggests mapping and measuring the wreckage for future research.
