Documentary filmmakers Yvonne Drebert and Zach Melnick have been on the lookout for invasive mussels on the underside of Lake Huron in Canada after they got here throughout the 150-foot-long shipwreck of the Africa.
On the morning of 4 October 1895, the Africa departed from Ashtabula, Ohio, carrying coal over Lake Huron to Owen Sound, Ontario. Nevertheless it didn’t make it. The ship sank in throughout an early-season snowstorm. The steamer’s 11-person crew died.
Drebert and Melnick aren’t saying precisely the place they’ve situated the ship as a result of it’s now thought-about a protected grave web site, however she does say it’s off the west coast of the Bruce Peninsula in about 280 toes of water or 85 metres down.
