That water is bluer than I would expect in the midwest! Another great wreck dive guys!

[@TritonsRealm]

Thanks! We expected the water to be greener as well, but this site is a little further out into the lake where the water is a little less green and muddy. Visibility was between 40-50’ and we had a blast exploring this wreck.

Great video Jeff I like it shows the little dive boat going out to the wreck and the pop up showing where you are on the wreck for people not familiar with ship

[@TritonsRealm]

Thanks Carl! We thought viewers would enjoy the animation and to see the relative positions of the wrecks.

[@kennyo5408]

Damn you had to go all the way to Hammond? It don’t seem far but when flying on the plane and seeing where the lake curves, you see it is actually far lol

[@ppino1812]

Well done video and narrative.

[@TritonsRealm]

Thank you!

[@lydialeigh4]

Very interesting wreck to explore! Decent visibility too. Cool!

[@TritonsRealm]

It was such a fun wreck to check out. Visbility was really good, about 40-50 feet. Thanks for watching!

I have a new favorite Triton's Realm video. Especially enjoyed my cameos. Great video of a favorite wreck!

[@TritonsRealm]

[@TritonsRealm]

@@gamerdad313 Welcome back to an amazing sport. There’s so much to explore underwater and there’s no better way to share it than with family. Safe diving. If we can help in anyway, just let us know. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@never2old-sd638]

Nice 👍

[@TritonsRealm]

Thank you!

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

Looks such an awesome wreck to explore!

[@TritonsRealm]

Yes, this was definitely an awesome wreck! We enjoyed learning about the ships when they were in service and hearing about how they came to be underwater. Stay tuned for more stories!

[@JohnKennethHuszagh]

Sorry, I'm a bit confused; where is this located exactly? Off the coast near Wilmette? Or up by Mickinac Island? Regardless, feels kinda funny to head all the way to Hammond only to take a boat back North past the whole of the city. Wonder if there's enough demand to warrant a diving company headquartered or franchised on the North Shore.

[@johnberry2877]

Any dive facility in the Chi- raqu area would probably be robbed daily 😂

[@ChristopherYoung1018]

I haven’t seen not one fish

[@rudetoy8264]

Great wreck diving video and pretty useful locator map so we know what section you guys are diving. Would love to see inner section of the ship like boiler room, anchor, etc

[@TritonsRealm]

Thank you. We’d love to see the inside as well, but weren’t ready for it on this dive. Evan was only 15 years old when we made this dive, and he didn’t have any wreck penetration experience or training. So we only explored the exterior. Now he’s got more wreck experience, so next time we’re in Chicago we’re definitely going inside. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍

[@michaelporogi4946]

What bums me out in these intentionally sunken vessels is the lack of excitement. Sure, I'd be curious to see it, but I'd know it's almost the same as checking out a normal, floating ferry - minus the marine life. If they really want to attract scuba divers they could might as welll hide a few cool things inside the ferry before sinking it, creating a treasure hunt feeling.

[@TritonsRealm]

You bring up a good point. Many people find shipwrecks not very exciting for the reasons you mentioned. Some ships that have been intentionally sunk as artificial reefs have been "enhanced" in various ways to make them more interesting. The Lady Luck in Pompano Beach, FL is an excellent example of this. Before they sunk this wreck they hired an artist to come onboard and create a casino theme. For us, we like the historic wrecks. The wrecks with a good story behind them that we can visualize as we explore the site. Thanks for watching!

Why is there no life? No fish? or other lake life. So dead.
