Deadly, but beautiful Whitefish Point on Lake Superior.
Of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least
200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point.
The 1975 loss of the steamer Edmund Fitzgerald with her entire crew
has become a world-wide legend.

The shallower wrecks are among the best shipwreck dives, because the water
in Whitefish Bay is crystal clear.
