Ames. Thuss was fishing in Lake Michigan off the city of Manitowoc in foggy conditions on Tuesday when he noticed the wreckage in nine feet of water off a breakwater, she said in a message to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsinhistory.org\/Records\/Article\/CS17357\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The society said<\/a> that according to the book &#8220;Green Bay Workhorses: The Nau Tug Line,&#8221; the Rand and Burger shipbuilding company in Manitowoc built the J.C. Ames in 1881 to help move lumber. The tug was one of the largest and most powerful on the Great Lakes, with a 670-horsepower engine.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/16\/cebc8930-3c22-42df-9e91-63defbc3cb21\/thumbnail\/620x543\/772f537b91a48195dfbd8d4d73ec7d07\/ap25136790225207.jpg?v=6df9366690ed146f169dd0670c453f91#\" alt=\"Great Lakes-Sunken Tugboat \" height=\"543\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/16\/cebc8930-3c22-42df-9e91-63defbc3cb21\/thumbnail\/620x543\/772f537b91a48195dfbd8d4d73ec7d07\/ap25136790225207.jpg?v=6df9366690ed146f169dd0670c453f91 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/16\/cebc8930-3c22-42df-9e91-63defbc3cb21\/thumbnail\/1240x1086\/a05fb7a0c3fb317827be1fb125c96d9b\/ap25136790225207.jpg?v=6df9366690ed146f169dd0670c453f91 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">In this Thursday, May 15, 2025 photo provided by the Wisconsin Historical Society, Tim Pranke, a volunteer diver for the Wisconsin Historical Society, approaches the wreckage of the J.C.

It eventually fell into disrepair and was scuttled in 1923, as was the practice then when ships outlived their usefulness, Thomsen said.<\/p>\n<p>The ship had been buried in the sand at the bottom of the lake for decades before storms this winter apparently revealed it, Thomsen said.
