A historic image of a ship that was identical to the Westmoreland. There are no known images of the actual Westmoreland, a propellor steamer that sank on Dec. 7, 1854 in Platte Bay, supposedly laden with gold coins and whiskey. After more than a century of searches, Grand Rapids native Ross Richardson found the wreck in 2010. (Photo courtesy | Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Alpena, Mich., C.
