Site Description: The wreck lies in 30 to 50 ft of water east of Outer Island. The wreckage consists of several large sections of sides, deck, and bottom and scattered smaller pieces. This is a model of the major sections of the wreck including the bottom of the hull, the entire starboard side, a portion of the port side and the inverted forecastle deck with the anchor windlass attached. In 2005 GLSPS partnered with WHS to put back the boiler which was used to drive the steam powered windlass. The boiler had been removed back in the 1960’s for salvage and sat for forty years in the back yard of Ed Erickson who was Bayfield’s mayor for a time.
