Officials have kept the find secret to prevent divers from disturbing the site before video and photo documentation is finished.

Video footage shows the Ironton sitting upright on the lake bottom, hundreds of feet down — “remarkably preserved” by the cold, fresh water like many other Great Lakes shipwrecks, Gray said.

Now I'm just a lowly recreational diver, but I'm pretty sure "hundreds of feet down" is far deeper than any diver can go regardless of skill or training.

I know even less about diving than you do, but another article I saw states it is “about 300 feet down”.
