In May 1891, the Thomas Hume ship from Chicago left after depositing a load of wood in the Windy City and returned to Wisconsin when the ship and his seven sailors never returned.
Despite the ominous clouds on the horizon, the ship ran to Muskegon and set his sails while it slid into the heart of Lake Michigan.
During his course, the ship disappeared and no broken parts were discovered after the sailors had not returned home, nor were their bodies found, according to Milwaukee Magazine.
More than twenty years later, the Rouse-Simmons transported Christmas trees from Michigan to Chicago when it sank.
Witnesses had seen the ship in good conditions with its emergency flag up. But when a lifeboat left to save the 16 passengers, when it arrived, there was nothing, the magazine said.
Two years later, Christmas trees started washing on the coast and the wallet of the captain did that too.
Only in October 1971 was the shipwreck discovered 165 feet below the surface. It did not give an indication about what it dropped.
In 2006 the Thomas Hume underwater was discovered in almost perfect state.
Both shipwrecks happened in what the locals call the Lake Michigan Triangle, which is comparable to the legendary Bermuda triangle.

The local population claims that Michigan has his own Bermuda triangle called the Lake Michigan Triangle. The triangle runs the 60 miles between Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Ludington, Michigan and 130 miles to Benton Harbor, Michigan
Several other ships have sunk in the same area in recent decades.
The big lakes have been the last cemeteries for 6,000 ships, but only Lake Michigan ate a quarter of it.
About 1500 ships died in the waters for Lake Michigan, especially along shipping routes and within the boundaries of the so-called Lake Michigan triangle.
The triangle runs the 60 miles between Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Ludington, Michigan and 130 miles to Benton Harbor, Michigan, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The triangle was given his name after Jay Gerey called it the Great Lakes Triangle in a book, and it made fame in the 1990s by Chicago Ghost Hunter, Richard Crowe, Wisconsin historian Brendon Baillod told The Outlet.
Although there is no official triangle – outside the Bermuda One – the big lakes are known as inland seas and they can have very dangerous waters.
Lake Michigan has been the most deadly, with 25 percent of the shipwrecks. It is also the busiest in the five.
Lake Huron is the next deadliest, followed by Erie, Ontario and Superior, according to the local outlet.

Lake Michigan is particularly dangerous because the waves are steep and close together, so that the water in the ship crashes instead of the boats that roll over it, according to the National Park Service.
Waves can get as close as every three seconds, so that the boat can be 'turtles', the desk said.
The Manitou passage in Lake Michigan is also quite dangerous and hundreds of wrecks happened between the two islands.
Last year the record broke for the total number of shipwrecks found in Lake Michigan in one year with 13 found, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The previous record was in 2016 with only four discoveries for Scheepswrak.
Wisconsin Shipwreck Hunters discovered a 131-year shipwreck on the bottom of Lake Michigan that was the victim of a storm and took the captain's dog of the dog's dog.
The Margaret A. Muir, a schooner, was found off the coast of Algoma, Wisconsin on 12 May, only a few moments before the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association research team almost pulled the Sonar out of the water, a press release said.
“I knew she would be in about 50 feet of water, I knew her parties were opened. I know she was flat and I knew she would be harder to find, “Brendon Baillod, a crew member of the search, told Fox 6 Milwaukee.

Tamara Thomsen, a member of the Wisconsin Historical Society, said that all pieces of the ship were found, including the personal items that sailors lost in the wreck.
The 130-foot Drie-Mast Schooner was assumed in South Chicago from Bay City, Michigan, when it got stuck in a storm with 50 km / h Gale-Force Winds around 5 am on September 30, 1893.
The ship fought against the hard weather until 7.30 am when gigantic waves came down over his deck and a few feet of water began to fill it wide, making the 71-year-old captain David Clow to call his crew to leave the ship.
The ship had almost taken Ahnapee – the current algoma – when they abandoned her.
Although all sailors survived the wreck, they still had to fight 15 feet waves in an open boat, where they were forced to keep the water out of the lifeboat to reach the coast.
They eventually came to safety, where a local week saw wet and ice cold of six.
Lake Michigan is used to experience hard weather conditions. It is usually the first lake that is hit by storms that come from the large plains with winds that suddenly pick up from nowhere.
Sailors reportedly experienced a strange phenomenon in which blocks of ice fall from a seemingly clear sky, all contribute to the mystery of the triangle.
