MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Searchers have discovered the wreckage of a “ghost ship” that sank during a Lake Michigan storm almost 140 years ago.  Researchers discovered the F.J. King off Bailey's Harbor, a town of 280 people on Wisconsin's Door Peninsula.  The ship carried cargo across the Great Lakes for 19 years before she went down during a gale off the Door Peninsula on Sept. 15, 1886. Searchers have been looking for the ship since the 1970s, lending to the F.J. King's reputation as a ghost ship.
