Has anyone ever done any serious searching for the Pere Marquette 18? I've talked with a lot of people who have heard that this or that person once looked for her, but nobody I've ever talked to has actually gone out there. It's quite a boat ride to the search area and contrary to popular belief the location of her foundering is not known with any great degree of accuracy. Even the best accounts state simply that she went down 19 miles off Sheboygan. I would think that someone with an ELAC or a good mag could go out in the Spring and find her or her trail of boxcars with a few days of effort.
