Shipwreck · Alpena, Michigan
Typo
A 137-foot wooden three-masted schooner, lost on October 14, 1899, carrying coal. In Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Look, don’t touch, and take nothing: removing or damaging anything on the wreck is illegal. The sanctuary's page gives it the same position as the Viator, so one of the two is a copying slip and the position shown is approximate.
