What do you mean by big? Length, draft, relief, or debris field? Chris Kohl's book is a good place to start researching wrecks in the lakes. The Great Lakes Diving Guide: Cris Kohl: 9780967997629: Amazon.com: Books
Don't take the coordinates as gospel though on some of them.

Cedarville in mackinaw. Or Jodray in St. lawrence river
+1 to Chris Kohl's book. It will probably have the most information on ship wrecks in the great lakes.
Another option is to download Google Earth then download and import the Ontario Underwater Council map (http://www.underwatercouncil.com/downloads/OUC_Dive_Ontario_Directory.kmz). It has a lot of diving site information in it. You'd have to hunt around the map however to find what you are looking for.

Cedarville is the biggest he has described in his two volumes of 100 top shipwrecks. Jodray is not in those volumes but may be in his other books. Thanks for the info. Any other candidates welcome as well.

+1 for the Cedarville while there dive the Eber Ward as well.
Both of them are worth several dives to see them entirely.
They can be a bit deeper than the '130 if you go to the sand but easily disable.
Being cold water / Great Lakes can be sporty at times just be prepared.

Cedarville for sure. It's massive and a nice, short boat ride.

Humm let's see. I have always wanted to dive the Great Lakes and see some of the wrecks. I really have nobody to go with. Since I was stationed at Quantico and lived in Woodbridge, I know about where you are at. So you put it together, I drive up and pick you up and we split the gas to and from your place. What do you think.
