The Doty was the largest ship lost in Lake Michigan, and went down in a storm in 1898 while coming to the aid of a smaller ship. All 17 hands and both of the ship's cats died.
The ship, since it is sunk in cold, deep fresh water, is in a perfect state of preservation. There are no plans to salvage it, as the cargo consisted only of grain.
