Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association found an unexpected 90-foot shipwreck in the Fox River while surveying another vessel, with evidence suggesting it's the L.W. Crane.
"It’s a very strong possibility that this wreck is the L.W. Crane." Diving in the Fox River is "very challenging" with the rough currents and poor visibility.
