The sea does not give up her dead casually; and neither do the
freshwater inland seas, the Great Lakes that define much of the
north central US and southern Canada. So when Michigan Shipwreck
Research Associates (MSRA) decided to take on the case of Northwest
Flight 2501, a Douglas DC-4 lost in 1950 with 55 passengers, two
pilots, and a stewardess over vast Lake Michigan, they knew it was
going to be hard. They didn't know how hard -- or that they'd wind
up solving other, even older mysteries, while chasing Flight
2501.
