JKC27 Posted October 27, 2021 #1 Posted October 27, 2021 Thought this would spark some interest, as divers have found and confirmed 3 wrecks from the 1800s at the bottom of Lake Superior. Located to the west of the Whitefish Bay area where the Edmund Fitzgerald was lost in a major storm in November 1975.

Ian_Grant Posted October 27, 2021 #2 Posted October 27, 2021 Doh! We spent our summer camping trip on Superior west of the Soo within sight of Whitefish point but I never heard of this museum. Oh well the border was closed anyway. Next time for sure! JKC27, thibaultron and mtaylor 3
JKC27 Posted October 27, 2021 Author #3 Posted October 27, 2021 Apparently the museum in Michigan (Soo) is pretty good. Never been up that way yet on either side of the border. thibaultron and mtaylor 2
Roger Pellett Posted October 27, 2021 #4 Posted October 27, 2021 One of these sunken vessels, the Schooner Dot, was apparently a “Canaller,” a specialized ship designed to navigate the restricted lock dimensions of the Welland Canal around Niagara Falls. The current issue of the Nautical Research Journal includes the first of a two part article about building a model of one. Roger mtaylor, BANYAN, JKC27 and 1 other 4
