Maritime History
History comes alive as you discover turn-of-the-century shipwrecks while aboard the Miss Munising and the Fireball. Preserved by Lake Superior's frigid waters, these doomed vessels lay on the bottom of the bay where they met their fates when the tempestuous lake displayed its violent power. The two-hour tour covers a distance of about ten miles and features sights both above and below the water.

Unique Experience
For years these vessels could only be seen by divers, but now, through specially designed through=the-hull glass viewing areas, all can experience the mystique of these turn-of-the-century shipwrecks. During the narrated tour you'll hear the tales of how the Bermuda, the Scow Schooner and the Herman H. Hettler met their demise in the clear waters of Lake Superior. With up to fifty feet of visibility, everyone has a view of the wreckage below.

You'll also see the famous East Channel Lighthouse as well as the North light, the highest lighthouse above sea level in North America.
