Subject: I like a good whiskey for sipping. The waves on the Great lakes are not to be fooled with.

the waves are rollers that keep on coming with little space between each wave. As the article says 10'-20'ers. I was caught in a storm off Burns harbor Indiana while heading for Michigan City. Estimate the waves were 10'-12'ers. Really worked out well as the direction of our destination and the waves put me into MC in record (for me) time. When I got to MC there was a small crowd on the break wall to cheer me in. If I would have had to fight the waves, there would have been hell to pay.

The Whiskey Salvaged From This 170-Year-Old Shipwreck In Lake Michigan Could Be Worth Millions

In regard to the gold coins, Richardson told Daily Mail that they “would be worth about a million dollars if we melted them down and sold them.”

“The true value is the numismatic value of these coins, which could realistically be more than $20 million today,” he added.

The whiskey, meanwhile, is exceptionally rare, and regional distilleries have already expressed interest in purchasing it to use for testing and sale.

While it’s not yet clear how much whiskey has survived, any that remains intact would have aged 170 years. On top of that, according to The Mirror the genetic makeup of corn in 1854 was different from today’s, meaning the whiskey would also have a different taste.
