Your'e right, there are better preserved shipwrecks in the great lakes that are easier to get to, but how many of those can you honestly say you remember seeing BEFORE they sank? (I know, I'm old! LOL)

I can remember seeing the Jodrey before she went down, my mom has keeped a daily journal of ships passing our cottage on the river ever since my parents had in starting in 1958 and she still record ever ship she sees.
