Shipwreck hunters found the intact remains of a schooner that sank nearly 150 years ago in Lake Michigan — and the ship is so well-preserved that its crew's possessions are still there.

Two Wisconsin maritime historians located the 140-foot-long Trinidad back in July, at a depth of around 270 feet.
