GONE MISSING
Through the centuries collisions, great storms, misadventure and human error have left the bottoms of the Great Lakes containing more shipwrecks per square mile than perhaps any other body of water in the world. Maritime researchers and sport diving enthusiasts are able to view many of these preserved in the fresh, cold lake waters, BUT, there are others that have remained hidden for decades despite repeated efforts to find their final resting places.
Our list of missing vessels is not by any means complete. We invite you to return as more boats and accounts are added to these pages.
