The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary preserves a national
treasure – nearly 200 historic shipwrecks! Lake Huron’s cold, fresh
water preserves many of these shipwrecks intact and in water depths
ranging from a few inches to 200 feet, making the sanctuary a popular
destination for divers, snorkelers and kayakers. You can explore
the history and archaeology of these wrecks at the Great Lakes
Maritime Heritage Center, the Sanctuary’s 20,000 square foot river
front headquarters. Exhibits on Great Lakes maritime history and
shipwrecks include the “Exploring the Shipwreck Century” exhibit,
a 9,000 square ft. permanent exhibit where visitors can experience
elements of a traditional maritime museum combined with a handson
discovery center featuring life-sized recreations of an historic Great
Lakes schooner and shipwreck sites, artifact displays, and interactive
learning stations on technology, diving, and Great Lakes ecology.
