Shipwreck Alley's Sunken Treasures

With a simple tape measure and a special waterproof tablet for taking notes underwater, scientists — wearing 200 pounds (90 kilograms) of scuba gear — documented the shipwrecks. They also snap photos so they can piece together a photomosaic of the remains. In the above picture, a NOAA diver investigates the bow of the wooden freighter SS Florida, which smashed into the RMS Republic and sank on Jan. 23, 1909.

At 210-feet deep with water temperatures hovering between 38 to 45°F, the Norman is one of the most challenging technical dives in Shipwreck Alley. This treacherous stretch of Lake Huron, just outside of Thunder Bay, claimed hundreds of ships throughout the 19th and early 20th century. Multifaceted wreck sites like the Norman with its huge engine, lifeboats and personal artifacts take divers back to a time when sail and steam ruled the lakes.

Lucinda Van Valkenburg | Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary

The LUCINDA VAN VALKENBURG was built in 1862. Twenty-five years later it was lost on Lake Huron. Bound for Chicago with a load of coal, it was struck by the iron propeller Lehigh about two miles northeast of Thunder Bay Island. The crew was picked up by the Lehigh and taken to Port Huron. The sunken VAN VALKENBURG presented a dangerous obstruction to other vessels, as the masts remained standing high out of the water from just below the crosstrees.

The bow of the F.T. Barney (1856–1868) looms out of the shadows of Lake Huron. The stillness belies the speed at which it sank; within two minutes after colliding with the schooner T.J. Bronson, the Barney was 160 feet below the surface of Lake Huron. The wreck is one of the most complete of its kind with masts and deck equipment still in place.

Mysteries Of The World

An unidentified ship, known only as the Swash Channel Wreck, was found at the entrance to Poole harbour and it lies on a flat sand and shingle seabed where it sank some time between 1600 and 1620. The intricate woodwork suggests that the ship was from the German-Dutch border and belonged to someone of a high status. Most unique of all is the discovery of two wood-carved mermen and an eight-metre-long carved rudder from the ship. They are now attempting to save the wreck by bringing it up.

Approximately 200 feet below the surface of Lake Huron, a technical diver examines damage to the Florida's (1889–1897) huge wooden hull. In a dense May fog, the 270-foot package freighter was nearly cut in half by the steamer George W. Roby. Today, the Florida sits upright on the lake bottom just off Middle Island with much of its package freight still inside.
