Monohansett Wreck (Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary)

The Monohansett was a wooden bulk freighter that caught fire and sank in the lee of Thunder Bay Island in November 1907 while sheltering from a Lake Huron storm. The wreckage lies broken into three large sections in only about 18 ft of clear water roughly 500 ft west of the Thunder Bay Island lighthouse, with the boiler reaching to within 10 ft of the surface and the propeller upright on the limestone bottom. Its shallow depth makes it popular with divers, snorkelers, paddlers and the local glass-bottom boat.
