	The Lady Elgin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		May 11, 1999--The saga of the ill-fated and historic Lady Elgin came to an end on April 15 when the Illinois Supreme Court decided to let stand the decision of the Illinois Appellate Court to allow salvage operator Harry Zych keep the wreck that he found 10 years ago.

		Artifacts that have been retrieved from the Lady Elgin thus far include pre-Civil War muskets, swords, glassware, china, serving ware, a chandelier and the ship's whistle.
