Ship Wrecks!

This is a program put together by PBS Wisconsin and it covers wrecks in Lake Michigan. My back yard pretty much. There is some vintage diving in the video, not to mention a segment about Zale Perry. Even I have a cameo in this production as they used some video supplied by one of my dive buddies. I am in the video at 4:19 and 41:30. I am diving the schooner Home which sank in a collision off Manitowoc Wisconsin in 170 feet of water. I am decked out modern with my LP 108's and an 80 Al sling bottle. Some of you will recognize my white framed mask. I have dove most of the wrecks in this video at one time or another.

Hey Jim, I can't wait to see this! Gotta run some errands in town first, so I'll pick up some popcorn. :D

Thanks for the link.

Some very interesting history.

I have visited Marinette Marine a few times. I got a chance to do some diving on a wreck while I was there.

If they ever figure out a way to warm up the Lakes I'll be there!
