: I am looking for information and pics on the Ship that is named the Red Wing. I am not sure if it is a Shipwreck or if it is still plying the lakes. I only heard about it today. It is named for the Detroit Red Wings Hockey Club. Any information and pictures would be greatly appreciated. If it is a shipwreck I don't know what peice of water it sank in. I think it is still plying the lakes though.
