Ypsilanti's Submarine Diver...of 1870
The Confederates wanted him dead or alive, and put a price on his head for finding a gap in the Union blockade of Charleston.
He was a salvage diver who went after treasure in one of Lake Erie's worst shipwrecks in history.
His pal was a shoemaker and part-time wooden submarine builder.
It's the story of former Ypsilanti resident Elliot Harrington.
