High Waters in the Great Lakes Reveal Two Centuries-Old Shipwrecks
In the month of April alone, the остатки of two historic судов выброшены on Lake Michigan’s shores.
The depths of the Great Lakes are littered with the пропитанными влагой останками of an estimated 6,000 ships. Many of these обломков—preserved by the cold, fresh water of the so-called inland seas—are nearly нетронутые, в первозданном состоянии, frozen in their final предсмертной агонии for centuries.
This month, waves and high water levels unearthed two historic shipwrecks on the shores of Lake Michigan, reports Lynn Moore for MLive. Experts from the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association (MSRA) identified the first, discovered near the city of Manistique on April 20, as an early 20th-century шхуна named after part-owner Rokus Kanters, a морской подрядчик and the former mayor of Holland, Michigan. The second, which washed up near Ludington on April 24, has yet to be identified but is thought to date back to the mid-19th century, according to the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum.
The high water levels обнажающие these ancient wrecks have plagued the Great Lakes region over the past several years, разрушая its beaches and threatening прибрежным properties.
“We’re seeing some of the highest water levels in recorded history on the Great Lakes, and that’s the result of very wet weather experienced over the last several years,” Keith Kompoltowicz, chief of водораздел hydrology for the Detroit district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, told the Washington Post’s Kim Frauhammer in 2019.
Climate change is the simple explanation for the region’s unprecedented weather and rising water levels, but in lakes, the situation is more complicated than in seas. Instead of an неумолимый march upward, the Great Lakes are expected to колебаться between extremes, according to the Post. That means both flooded basements and морские пути too мелкие for грузовые ships маячили in the lakes’ future.

🔎Разница между словами:
📌Remnant - остаток чего-то, что осталось после использования или потребления (особенно про ткань или материал)
📌Remains (plural) - чаще употребляется в значении "останки" (человеческих тел, в археологическом контексте). В значении "остатки" синонимично слову remnants
📌Wreck (wrecks) - обломки (потерпевших крушение кораблей, самолётов и машин после аварии)
📌Remnant - остаток чего-то, что осталось после использования или потребления (особенно про ткань или материал)

📌Wreck (wrecks) - обломки (потерпевших крушение кораблей, самолётов и машин после аварии)
MSRA experts identified R. Kanters—the more recent of the two shipwrecks—by tracking down photographs, old newspapers and historic records following a video call with the local man who happened upon the wreck, reports Emily Bingham in a separate story for MLive.
Records indicate that the 112-foot-long, double-masted schooner sank on September 7, 1903, after getting stuck in shallow water south of Manistique during a storm.
Just three days after its reappearance, the wreck had already started to sink back into the shores of Lake Michigan, reports Brent Ashcroft for local broadcast station WZZM 13.
The older, unidentified ship имеет, несёт на себе the клеймо, отличительный признак of vessels built between the 1850s and 1880s, according to the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum. Its корпус (корабля) fragment measures roughly 32 feet long and 8 feet wide, according to local broadcast station WWMT3.
The area where the 19th-century ship was discovered is notoriously рискованный, опасный for ships: More than 300 vessels сели на мель along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan over the past 170 years, the museum notes in a Facebook post.
Collaborative research with the MSRA дали the names of five vessels that may be responsible for the большой кусок of hull: The J.B. Skinner, built in 1841; the George F. Foster, built in 1852; the J.O. Moss, built in 1863; the Eclipse, built in 1852; and the Orphan Boy, built in 1862.
The two newly discovered wrecks may soon be added to a recently launched interactive map of the shipwrecks found in Michigan’s state waters. And for those looking to learn more about the thousands of ships lost in the Great Lakes, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum on the shores of Lake Superior offers a wealth of information and artifacts.
The museum is located at Whitefish Point, a коварный area known for possessing a находка, клад of some 200 shipwrecks.
Speaking with Smithsonian magazine’s Arcynta Ali Childs in 2011, Sean Ley, the museum’s development officer, explained, “The reason there are so many wrecks along there is because there are no natural harbors for ships to hide when they have these huge storms. Whitefish Bay is kind of a natural bay, and with its point sticking out, it does provide a great deal of protection for ships that are lost.”

Prehistoric анчоус-like fish had large клыки and a сабля tooth
Artistic исполнение, изображение of the 45-million-year-old салезубый anchovy Monosmilus chureloides gen. et sp. nov. being caught by the early whale Dalanistes while chasing a стая, косяк of smaller anchovies. Acrylic paint on paper.
A small international team of researchers has found that two prehistoric anchovy-like fish had fangs and a saber tooth. In their paper published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the group describes their study of the ancient fish and provides some theories about why the fish evolved such remarkable features.
As the researchers note, prior research efforts have led to finding a множество, уйма of fossilized fish remains that have been dated back to the early Palaeogene—many of which were clearly хищные. This has led scientists to conclude that such fish likely evolved into more predatory forms after larger predators were killed off by the same asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs.
