A Ship That Vanished 100 Years Ago Was Just Discovered by a Fisherman on Lake Michigan
On a foggy evening, fisherman Christopher Thuss came across a large sunken vessel in Lake Michigan The boat, later identified as the J.C. Ames, was a 160-foot tugboat built in 1881 that was intentionally sunk in 1923 A research coordinator with Wisconsin's Shipwreck Coast said the vessel was notable because "we don't have any other versions of tugboats that are quite this big"A fisherman discovered a piece of history while on Lake Michigan one foggy May evening. When he peered under the water's surface, he spotted the remains of a large vessel that hadn't been seen in more than 100 years. 'I didn't know exactly what I was looking at at first," Christopher Thuss told NBC affiliate WGBA. "I turned over that direction and the whole ship was right there." Thuss had been using sonar equipment when he came across the wreckage of a tugboat north of the Manitowoc breakwater on Tuesday, May 13. At 160 feet, the vessel, which currently rests in only nine feet of water, is notable for its size. "We don't have any other versions of tugboats that are quite this big," Caitlin Zant, research coordinator with Wisconsin's Shipwreck Coast, told the outlet. Thuss is following his family's tradition of finding shipwrecks. His step-grandmother, 'Shipwreck Suzze' Johnson, has become a local legend, locating a number of shipwrecks over the years, including three sunken vessels in three days in 2015, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS). The WHS did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Now, the younger generation is making its mark. After making his discovery, Thuss contacted Tamara Thomsen, a maritime archaeologist from the historical society, who then worked with Brendon Baillod, the president of the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association, to identify the wreck. They determined it was the J.C. Ames, which was built in 1881 for the lumber trade, according to the historical society. The vessel was 'one of the largest and most powerful tugs on the lakes, developed 670 horsepower with her fore-and-aft compound engine… She reportedly cost $50,000 to build,' according to a passage from Green Bay Workhorses: The Nau Tug Line that was shared by WHS. Beyond tugging other watercraft, the J.C. Ames was used in the pulpwood trade and had multiple owners. When it aged and became less functional, it was taken apart and intentionally sunk in Lake Michigan in 1923, the WHS said.

Ames is far from the first shipwreck to be discovered in the Great Lakes. Last fall, two maritime historians found the wreck of the John Evenson, which was lost to the water in 1895. In March, the steamship Milwaukee was found in Lake Michigan after it sank following a collision with another vessel in 1886, CBS News reported. The historical society warns divers not to remove artifacts or pieces of the ship, which is a crime. The WHS said maritime archaeologists will begin the process of listing the J.C. Ames in the State Register of Historic Places. Read the original article on People

Struggling fashion retail chain closed 28 store with more coming
Traditionally, retail chains that aren't growing are dying. That has changed in the modern era where many retailers have made careful decisions to get smaller in order to get healthier. It's actually hard to know if that's a successful strategy, but Macy's, J.C, Penney, Gamestop, and multiple other major chains have been selectively closing stores. Related: Walmart issues urgent message about the alarming cost of food In theory, it makes sense to get rid of stores that can't make money. The challenge, however, is when to decide that a store can't be saved. Macy's has actually closed breakeven stores as its brick-and-mortar footprint has dramatically shrunk. It's difficult to measure the impact of physical stores on digital sales. Closing a significant number of locations could lead to consumers forgetting about the brand. It's a sort of out-of-sight, out-of-mind situation. There's also the added benefit of customers in brick-and-mortar stores being able to go online when the store does not have their size. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter That's a sale driven by the physical store that does not count when a company judges sales in that store. It's an imperfect system under which closing locations may not have the long-term benefit many retailers expect. Fossil has been trying to streamline its brand. It recently exited the smartwatch business and it has been working to properly define its brand. CEO Franco Fogliato tried to paint a positive picture during the retailer's first-quarter earnings call. "We're pleased to report another quarter of exceptional progress under our turnaround plan. Our teams delivered results ahead of our expectations, both operationally and financially. We recorded a significant improvement in sales performance on a sequential basis, drove another quarter of meaningful gross margin expansion and generated a second consecutive quarter of profitability," he said. Fogliato is confident in his company's continued climb in a challenging environment. "Despite the dynamic macro backdrop, we're not currently seeing any softening in our demand trend and continue to have confidence in our ability to drive growth to our turnaround plan," he shared. More closings: Popular Mexican chain closing all restaurants, no bankruptcyIconic mall chain shuttering more stores foreverMajor gym closing multiple locations after franchisee bankruptcyAfter Chapter 11 bankruptcy, beloved retailer closes all stores This isn't just empty bravado, according to the CEO. "Our confidence is underpinned by several factors. First and foremost is the immediate traction and positive results we're seeing from our turnaround efforts over the past two quarters. Additionally, we have a number of tailwinds to propel the business forward, a leading market position, favorable industry dynamics and a core underlying strength, including iconic brands, innovative design, talented teams in a broad global reach," he added. Part of Fossil's turnaround plan has been shrinking its brick-and-mortar footprint. "In our retail stores, we're seeing a strengthening trend in our full price location led by improved performance in our traditional watches. During the quarter, we continued to optimize the store portfolio throughout the closure of 28 additional stores," shared Fogliato. He believes these cuts are essential. "As we continue to make great progress across the strategic areas of the business, we're also taking action to transform our operating model by rightsizing Fossil Group's cost structure," he added. The store closings, which will grow to 50 in total by the end of the year. have been carefully planned. "During Q1, we closed 28 stores, ending the quarter with 220 stores. All of these closures occurred at natural lease expiration with very minimal closing costs," he said. Related: Bankrupt department store unexpectedly receives a savior Closing stores is not the only way the company is cutting expenses. "We have already taken the necessary steps to align where our cost structure to our newly defined strategies, scope and scale. This includes a reduction in workforce in February, moving some of our international markets to a more profitable distributor model and closing unproductive retail stores," the CEO explained. "These actions are expected to drive $100 million of SG&A savings in 2025 versus 2024. We're also continuing to evaluate other opportunities, including the potential sale of non-core assets."

Yankees rally past Padres 4-3 in 10 innings after breaking up Cease's no-hit bid in 7th
NEW YORK (AP) — Pinch-hitter J.C. Escarra came through with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees, held hitless into the seventh, rallied past the San Diego Padres 4-3 on Wednesday night. Cody Bellinger homered with one out in the seventh for New York's first hit off Padres starter Dylan Cease, who exited moments later with a cramp in his right forearm. Max Fried tossed seven splendid innings in a pitchers' duel with Cease before San Diego scored twice against the Yankees' bullpen to build a 3-1 lead in the eighth. New York Yankees' J.C. Escarra, center, celebrates with teammates after hitting a walk-off sacrifice fly ball during the 10th inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres Wednesday, May 7, 2025, in New York. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) Pinch-hitter Trent Grisham tied it in the bottom half with a two-run homer after Oswaldo Cabrera drew a leadoff walk from Jason Adam. It was Grisham's 10th home run, eclipsing last year's total. Cabrera led off the bottom of the 10th with a sacrifice bunt that moved automatic runner Jasson Domínguez to third. Escarra then came off the bench and lofted a long fly into the left-field corner against Jeremiah Estrada (1-2) that allowed Domínguez to score easily. In his second game since coming off the injured list, Jackson Merrill hit a solo homer in the fourth and a tiebreaking single in the eighth for the Padres. Xander Bogaerts added a sacrifice fly off Luke Weaver to make it 3-1. Even as San Diego was taking the lead, a huge roar went up in the Yankee Stadium crowd of 42,302 when the New York Knicks finished off their rally for a 91-90 victory in Boston that gave them a 2-0 lead over the Celtics in their NBA playoff series. Key moment With the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th, embattled reliever Devin Williams (1-2) struck out Bogaerts with a full-count changeup. Williams screamed and pumped his fist before hopping off the mound. He ended up with his first win for the Yankees, who took two of three in the series. Key stat Fried was drafted seventh overall by the Padres in 2012 before they traded him to Atlanta. He is 6-0 with a 1.05 ERA for New York since signing a $218 million contract as a free agent in December, and the Yankees have won all eight of his starts.
