To make it perfectly clear, I am not a diver, but someone with a love of the lake
and the history surrounding it. I'm also an avid kayaker and a long time summer
resident of Door County Wisconsin. I've always known that there are numerous
wrecks off of Deaths Door, Pilot Island etc., but as I've kayaked around the peninsula
its dawned on me that a few, if not many wrecks would be visible from the surface of the
lake. (The wreck of the Louisiana for example lies in waters 10-25 ft deep)
This concept intrests me very much! Would anyone be able to point me to a diver's
resource for Door County that lists most, if not all, of the Door County wrecks and their
locations, GPS or otherwise? Any books or publications with reliable location info?
Obviously wrecks that are greater than 30-50 feet will be of little value to me since
you can barely see down that far on a good day in Lake Michigan. But the idea of paddling
out to a wreck site, knowing the history behind the wreck, and being at that place is
something magical - if your a diver or not! So any publications would be helpfull. The more
wrecks the better! (Also, any unusual Door County wrecks of airplanes etc are also welcome)
Thanks
