Year: 1989

Summary

The principal goals of this study are to establish the location and extent of shipwreck sites within and adjacent to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, to document the appearance and condition of the wrecks, the extent and nature of associated scatter and, if possible, to substantiate the identity of each. Valuable information was gathered about wooden shipbuilding technology. Another aim is to assess the human and environmental threats to the preservation of the sites and to prepare management recommendations. It is also summarizes the histories of each of the vessels lost in the Lakeshore, and to set their stories against the backdrop of the broader regional history to which they contributed individually and collectively.
