Thank you for this fascinating insight into these wrecks and the tragic loss of lives that accompanied some of them.
Your evocative, haunting and moving photographs together with the details of the vessels bring these vessels and the life they now have to a wider, appreciative audience.
This is a beautiful video documentary.
most famous shipwreck imo....Edmund fitzgerald
Stunning photos of the most evocative subjects. Still can’t believe the visibility.
Great Video! My father sailed the Great Lakes on various ore boats for 20 years. Add 22 yrs in the Coast Guard, he being stationed mostly around Northern Michigan and the UP, my interest in the Great Lakes is surely Great. I was born in Sualt Ste. Marie and lived in DeTour Village for many years. I watched dozens of the Lake Boats sail by for years. I can remember knowing the companies who owned them based on the colors and markings on the Stacks. This a area has a lot of ship wrecks from back in the early 1800s thru some from the 1900’s. There are 3 that their hulls and superstructure are visible just off the Village shore between Drummond Island and the Village. Near Drummond, there are a few that are in such shallow water, you can see seated from your boat. If you want to dive on them many are in pretty shallow water.
one good thing about diveing the great lakes no sharks
Eddard Murrell, find and watch videos here about bull sharks being found in the great lakes.
Thank You ... I have always been fascinated with the fresh water inland seas=the Great Lakes
Have the zebra mussels contributed to a clearer lake water down deep?
Very cool stuff! Makes me want to dive again.
Go for it!
Phenomenal video for a land locked individual who has an extreme phobia of water in general such as I, informative and very interesting, I listened to this while cleaning up and afforded on glance at a picture per shipwreck. Alright Alright, I took two glances with the Edmund Fitzgerald..... I think I might be getting better with that phobia.
Great photos, thanks!
With your experience on the great lakes, is it believable that these ships and boats are sunk from weather related storms? Is the lake that powerful to be able to disable ships the size of the Edmund Fitzgerald? Or is there always some kind of technical fault/failure that makes the ship come apart?
Hi Phillip,
Great question! The Great Lakes are individually massive. Ontario, the smallest of the five, is still the 13th largest lake in the world. And that means it’s pretty easy for waves to form on the lakes in bad weather. In a moderate wind in otherwise good conditions, waves three feet high on Lake Ontario are quite common. On Lake Superior during gale season, 30 to 40 foot waves are common. The lakes also pose a lot of navigation challenges. They narrow in places and many of them are full of islands and other obstructions. You can find more information about various shipwrecks and weather patterns at this link which talks about the storm of 1913: greatlakes.guide/ideas/remembering-the-great-lakes-storm-of-1913
Fascinating video, very informative and excellent research👍
Great video, thanks.
Awesome pictures! Thank you for sharing.
I've always been interested in shipwrecks from the past. I don't know why, but I guess it was curiosity as to what they would find, what caused the vessel to sink, how many were onboard and who survived. I would have loved to be part of a diving team that could go down and take a look if possible the wreck site. I believe that many are considered gravesites and should be respected. Very interesting video!
Think most early ships being propelled by sail/wind also a major factor.....
Cal you need to come to Vancouver island for there are thousands of shipwrecks around the Island
Very interesting. I can't remember watching an hour long video (Tombstone maybe..)
What about the edmund fitzgerald
Nice job Cal!
Did you find any body parts or treasure?
Have you thought of looking for the Fitzgerald?
Why are so many ship on the Great Lake have the pilot house close to the bow?

I am writing about a young boy growing up in the UP, his father working in one of the copper mines... problem: I know there must be ship wrecks in the keweenaw area, can't find much, also not finding much information about day to day life in a copper mine...can any one give any guidance?
how did the captain and cattle owner be the only ones that survived?
Excellent presentation! We have sailed past a marker off of Rawley Point, is this for the Rouse Simmons?
LOL!!! You can sure tell you are an American (55gal drums) they are 45 gal drums and that way my friends you can tell that I am Canadian lol
Great video excellent pictures
Robert Fournier-She was found off Deadmans Point Nov. 15(?), 1975. Wikipedia.
Dove on the prinz back in 1981.
WOW
Always found it very odd that boat people refer to boats as Her and She, like the boat has a personality.
