Divers Reach Pewabic Treasure Ship After Long Battle
Divers from Toledo and Detroit have raised the Pewabic from 180 feet of Lake Huron off Thunder Bay island near Alpena. The copper cargo, nearly 300 tons worth $200,000 plus, dominates the haul with other relics and old ship fittings. The breakthrough is due to Leavitt’s armored diving suit which allows four hours at great depths, signaling a new era in deep sea salvage.
