Still Waters Posted May 30, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Last weekend, a storm struck Utah’s Great Salt Lake with winds exceeding 50 miles per hour, exposing the rusted wreckage of what may be a century-old boat, reports Spencer Burt for local broadcast station Fox 13. Great Salt Lake State Park posted a photo of the wreck on its social media pages, stating that the steel boat—now visible along the body of water’s south shore—likely dates to the turn of the 20th century. The park also noted that people have boated on the lake since the mid-1880s. Park manager Dave Shearer tells Nate Carlisle of the Salt Lake Tribune that the storm’s strong winds drove waves to the south of the lake’s shores, washing away sands that had previously covered the wreckage. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/storm-great-salt-lake-uncovers-wreck-century-old-boat-180974996/ Video: https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/history-behind-100-year-old-shipwreck-found-after-recent-wind-storm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
