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”.
