Summary edit

Description
English: Martin Burke and preservationist Lisa Mibach stand on the shore preparing a report on the rudder of the freighter "Indiana," which was salvaged from the bottom of Lake Superior. The effort was jointly sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, the United States Navy and the Army Corps of Engineers. Artifacts were sent to the National Museum of American History's collections storage at the Museum Support Center

The "Indiana" was built in 1848. The "Indiana" was powered by a steam engine of very early and historic design. The engine turned a unique Erickson Screw Propeller. The Indiana was originally in the passenger service on the lower lakes and after the Soo Locks were opened transported iron ore on Lake Superior. It foundered on June 6, 1858 off Crisp Point in heavy weather after it started leaking badly around the propeller shaft. It was down-bound hauling a cargo of iron ore loaded at Marquette, Michigan at the time

1979.
