**Breaking News: Ships That Disappeared in Lake Superior a Century Ago Found Again—Now They’re Just Really, Really Wet!**
In a shocking turn of events that has left historians scratching their heads and local fishermen rolling their eyes, a fleet of ships that mysteriously vanished in Lake Superior over a century ago has been rediscovered! Experts are baffled, and so are the ships, which were apparently just taking an extended nap.
The ships, which include the SS “Where Did I Park?” and the SS “I Swear I Left My Keys Here,” were located after a group of amateur divers, equipped with nothing but a GoPro and a questionable sense of direction, stumbled upon them while searching for lost sunglasses. “I thought I was just going to find my Ray-Bans,” said diver Tim “Not a Marine Biologist” Johnson. “But instead, I found a whole fleet of ships! I guess they were just waiting for someone to come back and pick them up.”
Local historian and self-proclaimed “Lake Superior Whisperer,” Dr. Marge “I Knew They Were Here All Along” Thompson, commented, “This is a monumental discovery! It’s like finding your long-lost socks in the dryer—except these socks are made of wood and have been underwater for a century. I mean, who knew they were just chilling down there, having a party?”
The ships are now being raised from the depths, but not without some controversy. “I think they should just stay down there,” said local conspiracy theorist Bob “The Lake is a Portal” McGee. “I mean, what if they’re hiding from the IRS? Or worse, the Coast Guard?”
As the ships are brought back to the surface, experts are preparing for a grand unveiling ceremony, complete with a cake shaped like a ship and a live band playing “Under the Sea.” “We’re just glad they’re back,” said local mayor Sally “I Can’t Swim” Johnson. “Now we can finally get to the bottom of this mystery—literally!”
Stay tuned for updates as we follow the ships’ journey back to dry land, where they will undoubtedly need a good scrub and perhaps a therapy session to deal with their century-long abandonment issues.
