Wreck Dive D.M. Wilson, Lake Huron, Michigan

D.M. Wilson was headed for Milwaukee with a load of coal when it sprang a leak and began sinking. The steamers Hudson and Samuel Mitchell took it in tow, but it foundered in 40 feet of water two miles north of Thunder Bay Island. The crew was rescued by a fourth ship. D.M. Wilson was broken up by a gale ten days later and debris was driven as far south as Tawas. Much of the machinery was later salvaged. Most of D.M. Wilson's hull remains intact today, including a large windlass that rests on the bow. Depth: 40 feet
