First song that I can distinctly remember listening to. Dad had that 8-track and played it like crazy.

Wow! Spectacular images! The cold fresh water has preserved everything so well.

I know someone who dove Great Lakes shipwrecks and brought up a lot of treasures when it was still legal to do so. Stuff like this is what divers live for and back in the day you would keep this secret for as long as possible. Now everything belong to the government.

Wow—amazing photographs. That frigid Lake Superior water preserves things very well.

Wonderful.
Must’ve had electricity wired aboard? Electric table-top fan inside?

I imagine this ship would be a treasure trove.

No sunlight and very little oxygen at those depths. Throw in no salt and you have perfect conditions. If this were the ocean rust would have destroyed most of the ship by now.

Amazing photos! And yes, I have “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” going through my head now.
To: BBell
I am in awe of the camera work. A little white balance adjustment and those would be stunning. Sharp and clear.
Wow.

Yes, it appears they had electricity. Also, one of the first pics shows they musta left some of the lights on.

Just like the day it went down? If the housekeeping was anything like the maintenance, I can see why it went down.
Plane and ship wrecks are always creepy.

A lot of the treasures will come from the crew cabins and cargo hold. Coins, jewelry, pocket watches etc were valuable. If the cargo was unique it could be valuable. Much like with the Titanic, some shipwrecks are famous across the region and some are only famous locally. One famous ship the Pewabic was carrying copper ingots and those can go for over $1500. Other things like china, and utensils may only have historic value and zero monetary value.
