On July 5th through July 14 of 2023 we were working with Ben Ford, Professor and Chairperson Anthropology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Carrie Sowden, Archaeological and Research Director from the National Museum of the Great Lakes, as well as with two students on another site off Gallo Island. After completing the survey off Gallo Island, we took the survey team out to the site of what we believed was two shipwrecks we found on September 19, 2014. After they dove the site both Ben and Carrie’s conclusion was that we did indeed have two shipwrecks on this site. It is our belief that we have found the M. Ballard that sunk in Dec. of 1866 after striking a shoal at the head of Gallo Island and the J.W. Langmuir that hit the same shoal 8 years later and sank in Oct. of 1874 For more shipwreck discoveries go to https://sonarguy.com
