Great Lakes Diving the Straits of Mackinac Shipwrecks

The Straits of Mackinac is an area between Michigans lower peninsula and upper peninsula. The Mackinac Bridge connects the land and on one side of the bridge is Lake Michigan and on the other side is Lake Huron. The area has many shipwreck gems below the surface. The schooner William Young, Eber Ward, Brig Sandusky and the freighter SS Cedarville and Minneapolis. All of the wrecks you see in this video are in recreational depths around 80-100ft deep. The Eber Ward is the deepest from 90ft on the deck to 145ft at the prop. There is so much to explore on all of these wrecks.

This is how my GoPro footage looks on its little screen as soon as I'm done with a dive. Then I get home and reality comes crashing in :) Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

Ha! Thats disappointing. I never get good shots with a gopro. I gave up

[@unisuit]

Thank You

[@fescudder]

Wow... great vid!

[@chrisbalchen7097]

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

[@chrisbalchen7097]

@@BeckyKaganSchott Very cool. My wife and I finally got intro to cave taught from Bill at Birds last week. We're baby stepping, probably never get to where your at. Keep up the awesomeness :)

[@thatsidemountguy]

[@SammyPrairiechicken]

Watching with my 3 year old. Daddy has to show her some big waves now. Great video as always

[@nigel900]

Wow!

[@hobie1613]

What kind of depths were you at?

[@Soulseeologia]

But how u keep all fish out the scene, nets?

[@ivoryjohnson4662]

Whats the current and water temp like? I am thinking dry suit how thick of thermal did you all wear?

[@robertyoung3992]

Have you ever dove on the wrecks in Lake Erie?

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

I have! I just mostly take still images of the wrecks. Maybe this year i'll shoot some video in Lake Erie.

[@robertyoung3992]

I live in Buffalo, NY alongside of Lake Erie

[@tonydeleo3642]

It would be more interesting if you gave the names and some info on the wrecks.

[@nail928]

Yeah it’s called reading the description 🧐

[@HighlanderNorth1]

2:15 Is that a mass of clams covering that entire area of the ship? Are they invasive?

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

They are an invasive mussel yes

[@sparks2429]

Zebra mussels. They are a plague in the lakes

[@CarterArt1]

Oh god I was just swimming there and I have submechanophobia and I had no idea 😬

[@changopardomuzik4953]

Barnacles make me itchy, feel like scraping them

[@jackd.jeffries3358]

The Cedarville didn’t look anything like that when I dove on it in the 70’s

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

i can't imagine! The mussels have really cleared up the water

[@tnscubadiver]

Love the videos any albums available to public yet? Be safe always

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

What do you mean by albums? I do have prints available at www.LiquidProductions.com

[@tnscubadiver]

@@BeckyKaganSchott that coffee table book or other albums by geographical areas just wishful thinking Dive Safe

[@MrKastaway66]

Why do I find this oddly frightening?

[@ashipnerdoffical4260]

Well, a lot of these are graves. 10 people died on the Cedarville when it capsized for example. Maybe it's because we know these things are supposed to be floating, and they're not. They're trapped at the bottom of the lakes. It could also additionally be because people drive and live not too far away from these things and don't really know or think about it often. The above mentioned Cedarville for example sank because it collided with another ship almost exactly beneath the Mackinac Bridge. Then again, I could just be completely wrong about everything above. I'm just spitballing.

[@randymoore6063]

The Stalker? Recognize the Cedarville.

[@BeckyKaganSchott]

There are a bunch of wrecks in the footage. Eber Ward, Sandusky, Cedarville. Maybe a shot of the Stalker

Nothing in the universe lasts forever, but you can. Here is the truth that all people need to know. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. -Romans 3: 23 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 6: 23 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14: 6 Whoever believes in Jesus has eternal life, but whoever rejects Jesus will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. -John 3: 36 Believe in Jesus and you will be saved. Then read the Bible, pray to God and obey Him. I hope you will consider the great importance of your eternal soul.
