LAKE MICHIGAN -- A team of explorers and technicians says it's completed the second phase of remote sensing work at the site of what may be the Griffin, a 17th century French ship that sank in Lake Michigan.

The Michigan-based Center for Maritime and Underwater Resource Management used high resolution sonar to map the lake bottom near what may be the Griffin's gravesite.

The center's project manager says it still isn't clear whether the scan has identified the remains of a ship.

Data is being processed, and his team will confer with Michigan Tech University experts.
