Michigan Shipwrecks
The Great Lakes have provided transportation for Michigan's inhabitants for hundreds of years. Thousands of vessels from canoes to car ferries and steamers to modern ore boats have sailed these "inland seas" and unknown numbers still remain - settled on the lakes bottom in watery graves. An estimated 6,000 vessels were lost on the Great Lakes with approximately 2, 000 of these ships located in Michigan waters.
