Divers sink deep to replace the soul of a ship

Shipwreck divers John Janzen and John Scoles dove deep into Lake Michigan to replace a ship's bell with one commemorating those who died in the wreck.

The Minnesota divers replaced the Carl D. Bradley's original bell with an honorary bell engraved with the names of the 33 crew members who died when the freighter sank on Nov. 18, 1958.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Janzen about the project.
