The Bermuda, a 135 foot wooden schooner foundered and sank in the spring of 1870 in Murray Bay on Grand Island. Her top deck is just 12 feet below the water's surface where she has remained for 140 years. The wreck is intact, remarkable condition for a shallow wreck.
In November of 1926, the Herman H. Hettler was seeking shelter in Munising Harbor when she slammed into a reef. The Hettler, built in 1890, was bound for Duluth carrying a cargo of 1,100 tons of bulk table salt. The 210' wooden steamer was driven far up on the reef and a storm then carried off the upper works and sank the stern.
