The Great Lakes Exploration Group is soon set to take French archaeologists to the floor of Lake Michigan to determine if the wreckage they have found are indeed the remains of Le Griffon, that disappeared, presumed sunk, in 1679. Le Griffon was built by order of the famed French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.
