This article is an assessment of the shipwrecks in Isle Royale National Park. The island is literally surrounded by an array of ship remains that represent many types and stages of development of maritimes steam technology from the 1970s to the mid-1900s. This assortment includes passenger/package freighters, bulk freighters, a side-wheeler, wood-hulled ships and steel behemoths more than 500 feet in length, one of which went down as recently as 1947.
