The first large shipping vessel to sail the Great Lakes disappeared in 1679 and was never heard or seen from again. The Griffon was built by explorer Rene Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle in order to help expand the fur trade in North America. Its maiden voyage was from New York to what is modern-day Wisconsin. After waiting out a storm, it departed from either Washington or Rock Island off the Door Peninsula, never to be seen again. Theories of what happened to the Griffon have appeared over the past three centuries. While none have been confirmed, there have been numerous claims regarding the final resting place of the Griffon, tune in to learn about the Griffon and the search its disappearance has inspired.
