Description
Protected from the high-energy of a shallow water environment, deepwatershipwrecks are often very intact. Such wrecks are true time capsules, providingunique archaeological, historical and recreational opportunities. Pictured hereis the 300-foot long bulk freighter Norman, which sank in 1895, resting justoutside the current Thunder Bay sanctuary boundaries. (Image credit: Thunder Bay 2010 Expedition, NOAA-OER)
