: Looking for information on the wreck in Lake Michigan, off Winnteka IL.
: Wreck is in 9 feet of water. It apperers to be a wooden boat.
: I have seen th wreck for years, but no nothing about it.
I am aware of two wrecks off Winnetka--it depands where you are refering. One is located about seven homes south of the Winnetka launch ramp--the other about 15 homes north of the launch ramp. We, the Underwater Archaeological Society of Chicago, has produced documented drawings of both. The one north is the "Tuscola" and went down with a load of cobblestones. The one south is unidentified.
