Overview

Shipwreck City Data

This target has been classified as man-made mixed-material debris, resting in 40 feet of water and measuring roughly 5 feet by 4 feet. The site consists primarily of a rectangular metal box-like object resting on the lakebed, with additional wooden debris nearby. Visible features include heavily corroded metal surfaces, several openings along the sides, and damaged metal panels across the top of the object. A large timber with visible bolt heads and additional wooden material lie nearby, though we are unable to determine whether the wooden debris is associated with the metal object. We are unable to determine the primary purpose of the metal box at this time. Shipwreck City is actively researching this target and will provide more details as we learn more.
