Bismarck War Ship

Ironsides

The Ironsides was launched on July 23, 1864 in Cleveland, Ohio. She was built by Ira Laffrinier and owned by the Lake Superior Line as a comfortable and roomy passenger steamer. The 1,123 ton, wood hull steamer was 218 feet long at the keel and 231 feet long overall length, with a beam of just over 30 feet and was distinguished by the strengthening arches running along both sides. She had a passenger deck over a single cargo deck with a pilot house at the stem. Enrollment papers stated she had "a plain stem and a round stern".

Tug Richard H.

The 19 ton fishing tug Richard H. was 43.8 feet in length with a beam of 12 feet. She was a steam powered vessel built at Marinette, WI in 1923. The fish tug was owned by William Prue of Green Bay, WI in 1938. Captain McKay, who purchased the Richard H. in 1939, said he had recently remodeled the upper structure of the boat. The superstructure had been cut down ten inches in the remodeling.

At the time of her loss, the Richard H. was owned by Captain John McKay, who originally hailed from Alpena, but had moved to South Haven with his family in the Spring of 1936. 

Tugboat North Shore

The tug North Shore, which sank in 150 feet of water in the late 1980s is one of the best local dives in the Saugatuck area. This deep wreck is not for beginners.

MSRA affiliated technical diver Todd White has documented the North Shore extensively and MSRA presents these photos to help you plan your dive.

Mayflower

The Mayflower was the ship that transported English and Dutch Separatists, a French Huguenot, William Vassall fleeing religious persecution, and other adventurers referred to by the Separatists as "the Strangers" to Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.

The Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on September 6/16, 1620 with 102 passengers and about 30 crew members in a small 100 foot ship. The first month in the Atlantic, the seas were not severe, but by the second month the ship was being hit by strong North Atlantic winter gales, causing the ship to be badly shaken, with water leaks from structural damage. There were two deaths, but this was just a precursor of what happened after their Cape Cod arrival, when almost half the company would die in the first winter.^[1][2]

On November 9/19, 1620, after about 3 months at sea, including a month of delays in England, they spotted land, which was Cape Cod. And after several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on November 11/21. The Mayflower Compact was signed that day.^[3][4][5][6]

The Mayflower has a famous place in American history as a symbol of early European colonization of the future United States.^[7]

Carl D. Bradley

The SS Carl D. Bradley was a self-unloading Great Lakes freighter that sank in a Lake Michigan storm on November 18, 1958. Of the 35 crew members, 33 died in the sinking and 23 were from the port town of Rogers City, Michigan. Her sinking was likely caused by structural failure from the brittle steel used in her construction. She was the sister of the ill-fated SS Cedarville.

Built in 1927 by the American Ship Building Company in Lorain, Ohio, the Bradley was owned by the Michigan Limestone division of U.S. Steel, and operated by the Bradley Transportation Line. She retained the title of "Queen of the Lakes" for 22 years as the longest and largest freighter on the Great Lakes.
