Shipwrecks of the Thunder Bay Region
The shipwrecks of Thunder Bay constitute a microcosm of the Great Lakes commercial shipping industry spanning the last two hundred years. The collection reflects transitions in ship architecture and construction, from wooden schooners to early steel-hulled steamers, as well as several unusual vessel types.
This portion of the website is divided into four sections:
Known Shipwrecks - A list of the vessels that have been located in the Thunder Bay region. Caution: This is a long page and may take some time to load.
Possible Shipwrecks - A list of 65 vessels that may be located in the Thunder Bay region (according to historical records), but whose remains have not been located.
Vessel Types - A discussion of vessel construction, including examples located or thought to be located in the Thunder Bay region.
