Steamship Gen. Anthony Wayne

September 10, 2006 – Auto parts supplier Tom Kowalczk of Lakeside spends a 12-hour day searching for the side-wheel steamship Gen. Anthony Wayne, which went down April 27, 1850, north of Vermilion. He sees the wheelhouse on his last pass of the day. The ship, according to legend, was carrying millions of dollars in gold coins but Kowalszk doesn’t believe the story, and anyhow, wrecks in Lake Erie are owned by the State of Ohio.
