Shipwreck · Isle Royale, Michigan
Kamloops
A 250-foot Canada Steamship Lines package freighter lost with all 22 of her crew in a Lake Superior storm about 7 December 1927, off Isle Royale. Sport divers found her in 1977, on her starboard side at the foot of an underwater cliff near Kamloops Point, in Isle Royale National Park. The position shown is approximate. Her crew lie with her: look, take nothing.
