Multiple Historic Shipwrecks Revealed in Lake Michigan

The Great Lakes, despite their calm appearance, are dangerous waters with over 6,000 shipwrecks, now increasingly being discovered due to better technology and the invasive quagga mussel, which makes wrecks more visible but also threatens their preservation. These wrecks serve as underwater museums, revealing stories of maritime history, immigrant journeys, and industrial past, with many still undiscovered.
