Overview

Shipwreck City Data

This target has been classified as a wood shipwreck, resting in 40 feet of water and measuring roughly 32 feet by 11 feet. The shipwreck rests upright on the lakebed, with portions of the hull deteriorated and sections of the outer structure missing. Visible features include a defined bow stem, exposed ribs and internal framing, and sections of outer hull planking. In several areas, missing hull planking exposes the vessel’s internal structure.

Prior Research and Theories

Previously, Coastal Sensing & Survey had classified this target as LU05. Described as an unknown object or wreck whose structure was difficult to identify because it was covered by mats of aquatic weeds.
