This video (7:22) features the wreck site of the Antelope, which sank in 1897 in Lake Superior. The ship remains almost entirely intact, with only its stern cabin structure missing. Despite multiple conversions throughout its service history, the original hull, keelson structure, stern, and ship lines maintain their original integrity from when the Antelope was built in 1861. Victoria Kiefer, a maritime archaeologist with the Wisconsin Historical Society, describes the ship’s visible structures, the history of the vessel, and the data that is being communicated by the ROV (remotely operated vehicle) as the video is captured.
