Collapsed Wood Shipwreck (LU045), Lake Union, Seattle, WA — main photo

Overview

Shipwreck City Data

This target has been classified as a wood shipwreck, resting in 40 feet of water. The wreck is heavily collapsed and dispersed across the lakebed, with much of the surviving wooden structure lying flat or at low angles. Visible features include extensive wooden planking, several large structural timbers, crossed wooden members, and a curved section of wood that may represent part of the hull or framing. A heavily encrusted upright metal fitting is also visible among the wreckage. We are unable to determine the vessel’s original configuration or orientation due to its condition.
