History
editBased on the features and style of the sloop, it is dated to have been built sometime from 1840 to 1860.[2] The shipwreck is the only known one of a commercial freighting sloop in Wisconsin waters. Added to the fact that there is no historic record of construction of a commercial freighting sloop, it makes the site a popular one for archaeologists.
