Charlevoix May Be Base for Griffin Expedition The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports that the Griffin, a primary ship of the French explorer La Salle, is thought to have disappeared in a storm in northern Lake Michigan in the fall of 1679. Steve Libert, an avid diver, treasure hunter and president of the Great Lakes Exploration Group, discovered a wreck in 2001 he suspects could be the vessel. The city of Charlevoix has been asked to provide dock space this summer so crews, including scientists from the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History, can do research.
