Do you have exciting information relevant to shipwreck research and preservation? Check out our Public Facebook Group and get in on the discussion.

Check out the Michigan Shipwrecks Web App, it’s an interactive map showing dive sites (to 150 ft) and shallow sites for kayak and snorkel enthusiasts.

A gallery was created for shipwreck/diving photos that can be used by Michigan DNR and on the Michigan.org sites. Photos need to be able to be cropped to a (landscape) horizontal image and must be 300 dpi and at least 1200 pixels wide. Please include photo credit information in the description field.
