Site details

Bullhead Point in Sturgeon Bay holds the abandoned hulls of three limestone-trade vessels — the steamers Empire State and Ida Corning and the schooner-barge Oak Leaf — burned and abandoned by the Sturgeon Bay Stone Company in the 1930s. The wrecks lie in 0-10 ft of water just off the city park and are partly visible above the surface. One of Wisconsin's easiest shipwreck shore dives and a popular snorkel and kayak stop.
