The wreck of the propeller freighter Dean Richmond, a 238-foot vessel lost with all 23 crew in the great storm of 14 October 1893 off Dunkirk, New York, near the New York/Pennsylvania line in Lake Erie. The wreck lies inverted in about 95 feet of water with the upside-down hull standing roughly 30 feet off the bottom. A favorite advanced Lake Erie wreck dive, often paired with the nearby Indiana.
