: : My great uncles were the captain and first mates when she went down in 1909. Up to a few years ago the wreck had not been located. I was wondering if that is still the case, or with all the new technology someone had found her.
: I can't remember the exact details but I seem to recall that there was a side scan image or depth recorder image of a large wreck thought to be your ship located in very deep water in the middle of lake Michigan maybe Paul Ehorn could expand on this info good luck Tim

The M&B#2 that went missing in 1909 sank in a blizzard in Lake Erie. I believe you are thinking of another vessel. There was a rumor going around last summer that the M&B#2 had been found off Port Stanley, Ontario, but that has apparently proved false.
