This is the best summary I could come up with:

According to the WHS, the schooner – a term used to describe a sailing ship with two or more masts – was built in 1867 at Grand Island, New York, for the Great Lakes grain trade between Milwaukee, Chicago, Buffalo and Oswego.

According to WHS, since leakage “wasn’t an uncommon occurrence”, the Trinidad continued its path until it “suddenly and violently lurched and began to sink”.

In Baillod’s article for Shipwreck World, he wrote that he first became interested in the Trinidad nearly 20 years ago when he was building a database of all known vessels that were lost in Wisconsin waters.

Speaking to Green Bay Press Gazette, Baillod said, “It was not very well-known, not far from a port, few people if any looked for her, and we had a 5-by-5-mile base where we figured it would be.”

They then created a 3D map of the lake’s bottom that was nearly one-third of a mile wide with each pass, Baillod explained in the article.

They then turned back for a second pass at a slower speed and higher resolution and were able to clearly see the wreck, which was “remarkably intact” as the deck house was still in place.
