Shipwrecked & Rescued

Some might argue that treasure hunting is a thing of the past. That, we’ve discovered, plotted, surveyed, and satellite mapped all there is to discover on this planet. But in reality, treasure hunting comes in all sorts of different forms, consider American Pickers on History Channel, aren’t they searching for treasure? And with the rise in popularity of shows like The Curse of Oak Island, Skinwalker Ranch and Lost Gold of World War II it would seem that treasure hunting is still alive and well. 

But there is another facet of searching that’s especially intriguing (to me) and has been brought to the surface as recently as last year. Take for instance, the discovery of Ernest Shackleton’s lost vessel The Endurance

You’re probably wondering what all this has to do with cars? As we reported on Drive Thru Episode #20 (in March of 2022); there was a shipwreck containing millions of dollars of high end vehicles like Porsches, Lamborghinis, Bugattis and more. But this isn’t the first time vehicles have been lost at sea. Author and explorer Larry Jorgensen joins us tonight to talk about a little known shipwreck that cost Detroit hundreds of vehicles!

It was by learning of this little known event which resulted in his decision to create a written account which he hopes would share the story of one of Lake Superior’s most unusual shipwrecks.

It’s amazing to think that with all of our advanced technology, there are still items hidden so well they still remain to be discovered. Whether its ancient artifacts, well-kept barn finds, closed door collections, and even shipwrecks, there’s a reason to continue hunting for treasure.
