Sheboygan Shipwreck

Special | 7m 27s

Sheboygan man finds the shipwreck of the Robert Pringle after thirty years of searching.

For thirty years, Steve Radovan searched for the Robert Pringle. The Pringle was an excursion boat which once hauled party goers from Milwaukee to the Pabst Gardens in Whitefish Bay. By 1922 it had been converted to a tug boat. That's when it sank somewhere off the Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan. In May of 2008, Radovan discovered the long lost boat in a place he didn't suspect.
