Site details

The 280-foot iron steamer Lakeland foundered six miles east of Sturgeon Bay in December 1924 while carrying a cargo of new Nash, Kissel and Rollin automobiles. She lies upright and largely intact in roughly 200-235 feet of water, broken nearly in half aft of her cargo elevator, with cars still visible in the hold. Famous since the mixed-gas era opened her to divers, the Lakeland is one of the Great Lakes' classic deep technical wrecks.
