: : Does any one know how many wrecks in shallow water their might be off Oceana County, Michigan? (a list with names would be helpful) I know that three schooners sank off Stony Creek in one year alone in the 1860's. There is an old life boat visable at the mouth of the creek, is there any way I can ID what time period it may have come from?

Mike,
Stony Creek is just that a Creek that empties into Lake Michigan just south of Little Sable Point, in Oceana County Michigan. It use to be a
small settlement, bootleggers use to run booze there among other things.
