"You're connecting the dots," she said. "You're thinking outside the box, trying to hone in on primary sources — never what someone else has written in books. You go to old newspapers, court documents, company records, enrollment papers."

The group is holding onto the ship's location for the moment. Dives are planned to answer further archeological questions and determine where, exactly, water initially breached the hull. The team also hopes to explore the ship's interior.

The discovery and documentation efforts on the John V. Moran, as well as other local shipwrecks, was put on display Wednesday in the exhibit "Mysteries Beneath the Waves" at the Michigan Maritime Museum in South Haven.

Shipwrecks such as the Moran, lost on the same Michigan-to-Wisconsin route the Lake Express ferry runs today, "help connect us with our past."

"That's one of the most extraordinary things about a discovery," van Heest said.
