Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is located in Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is on the northeastern portion of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, on Whitefish Point which forms the northern end of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior.
Situated literally at the end of the road about 10 miles north of Paradise, Michigan, the museum is located on the site of Whitefish Point Lighthouse, the oldest active light on Lake Superior. The museum features artifacts retrieved from local shipwrecks, including the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, and utilizes part of the old Coast Guard facility.
Whitefish Point is a popular spot for ship watchers, bird watchers and rock collectors.
