    North Chicago

    I am looking to do shore diving off of Great Lakes Naval Base. Does any one know of any wrecks off the shore there. I have heard of a few but am unable to locate them on a map thus far.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jwinter

    There is only one known wreck off of the Great Lakes Naval Training Base. It is the wreck of the side-wheel steamer, "Seabird." She burned to the waterline and sank in the late 1860's. She lies in 28 feet of water about 3/4 mile off shore just north of Great Lakes harbor. That is a bit too far for most divers to swim. I try to keep a mooring on her but as of last Sunday it was missing. I will try to replace it at my next opportunity.
    Safe diving,
