Wreck Dive
Van Valkenburg, Lake Huron, Michigan
View Original Description
Lucinda Van Valkenburg was built in 1862 and lost on Lake Huron 25 years later. Bound for Chicago, Illinois, with a load of coal, Lucinda Van Valkenburg was struck by the iron propeller steamer Lehigh about two miles northeast of Thunder Bay Island. The crew was picked up by Lehigh and taken to Port Huron, Michigan. The sunken schooner Lucinda Van Valkenburg presented a dangerous obstruction to other ships for some time after sinking, as the masts remained standing high out of the water.
