Basically it would take me far too long. So, I'll cover some of the more popular wrecks. I've been to most of them, and actually published articles on the Material Service Barge and the David Dows. I stopped writing them because the pay was, well, let's say I would have made more money per hour working at a hot dog stand. The following wrecks are include the better known destinations in the area, as well as some of the lesser known. I should also mention that visibility is the best it has been in 15 years. Those Zebra Mussels (ecological nightmare that they are) that invaded the Great Lakes have been acting like little vacuums, sucking up the micro-organisms that were causing poor vis in Lake Michigan. The result is clarity (as we define it). So the lake may die in a decade or so - or so the scientists thought. Now they are thinking differently. Only time will tell. If you are not from the area, you will need the appropriate equipment for cold water diving. The surface temp of Lake Michigan can reach 72 degrees in the mid summer. The thermoclines (you'll encounter one to three on most wrecks) are another matter. The first kicks in at around 25'. It's a whopper - you can see and FEEL it. A 1/4" wet suit, with hood and boots is a must. Use of reef gloves at a minimum. Many wrecks have metal cable that is rusting and fraying with age, and can cause Sea Urchin type wounds - complete with little wires stuck in your skin!

    Extractions: Reprinted from the BVI Welcome Tourist Guide - Vol. 25, No. 6 Oct/Nov 1996 The B.V.I.'s island of Anegada is part of that mystique. Its low-lying profile and treacherous Horseshoe Reef extend 17 miles into the Anegada Passage, one of the major trade routes of the Caribbean. Over the centuries, hundreds of wooden ships have foundered on its vicious coral shoals. No doubt some were carrying treasure. Divers have spent decades searching, but have never admitted to finding the "mother lode." As for the ships themselves, their wooden hulls have long since succumbed to the ravages of the sea and other than a few obscure piles of ballast stones and long-removed cannons, there is little to show for their passing. The remains of more contemporary iron ships, such as the Rocus (also known as the "bone wreck"­ sunk in 1929) and the Paramatta (a paddle-wheel predecessor to the Rhone In contrast is the R.M.S.

    Extractions: Cornish Shipwrecks There are two popular misconceptions about shipwrecks in Cornwall. The first is that most wrecks were caused by wreckers' shining misleading lights from the cliffs, in the hope of bringing vessels laden with bounty onto the rocks. This was never required, as nature, with it's strong winds, heavy seas and sharp rocks, was a deadly combination ensuring a constant stream of wrecked vessels. The second misconception is that the wreckers' deliberately killed survivors of shipwrecks to ensure they could carry off the hapless ships' cargoes. Though there were inevitable occasions when violence was used, far more wreckers' were have likely to have drowned than the possibility of sailors being murdered. The combination of poor wages and valuable cargoes was too much to resist, with wreckers' often taken to the same treacherous seas that had caused the original occupants to abandon ship. Shipwrecks were, however, thought to be fair game across all sections of society with sometimes hundereds of people following a troubled ship along the coast in anticipation of a rich harvest. This is perhaps best summed up by the localised version of the saying "it's an ill wind that blows no good to Cornwall". Hundreds, perhaps thousands of wrecks, have occurred around the Cornish coast, with the following but a small sample:

    Extractions: The War of 1812-Era Shipwrecks of Lake Champlain (click on image for full-size picture) Growler and Eagle , were captured in early 1813 when they incautiously ventured into the British-controlled Richelieu River. The British used them to raid ports and shipping on the lake in late July. During the winter of 1813-1814, Macdonough began the construction of a bigger squadron here at Vergennes, Vermont, several miles up the Otter Creek from Lake Champlain. Vergennes had an iron foundry that could supply spikes, bolts, and shot, water-powered sawmills, and the surrounding forests were filled with white oak and pine for ship timber. The Navy Department hired New York shipwright Noah Brown to direct the building. Saratoga , in just 40 days. Brown and Macdonough also commandeered an unfinished steamboat and completed it as the 17-gun schooner Ticonderoga Finally, Brown built six 75-foot-long (22.86 m) row galleys or gunboats, each rigged with two lateen sails and armed with two cannon. Macdonough commanded the lake through the summer of 1814, but word that the British were building a frigate at Isle aux Noix led to the construction of one additional warship for the U.S. Navy squadron. On July 23 two hundred shipwrights under the direction of Adam Brown (brother of Noah) laid the keel for a 20-gun brig at Vergennes.

    Extractions: Light as it was, without a cargo, the steamer slid high on the ledge and resisted all attempts to free it. The vessel radioed that its double-bottomed hull had been punctured near the No.5 hold, but otherwise the rest of the freighter was intact. Heavy seas pounded the stranded steamer against the ledge and soon water was flooding the rest of ship. At first, the pumps kept up with the deluge. However, by noon, Captain Mano ordered 29 of his crew to the lifeboats as rising waters in the engine room threatened a boiler explosion. For two hours, the crewmembers sat it out until the danger passed. At 3:30 PM, they were removed to the Coast Guard Cutter
