This is a well known and often searched for Milwaukee wreck. To date, she has not been reported as found, despite numerous local divers who are looking for her. The wreck location is well known and is mentioned in numerous subsequent news articles in the Sentinel. Despite people painting the are with sidescan, no sign of her has turned up. Some speculate her remains may have been removed, as she was shallow enough that her spars were well above water. It is, of course, possible that her remains could still be found. Email me directly if you'd like more info. on my research regarding this vessel.
