Small Metal Boat with Docks
Overview
This target has been classified as a metal shipwreck, resting at a depth that has not yet been determined. The vessel is heavily deteriorated and partially surrounded by collapsed structural material on the lakebed. Visible features include sections of heavily corroded metal which appears to be part of the main hull, a large upright metal panel, a rectangular recessed fitting or opening, and several additional metal fragments that are partially buried or obscured by encrustation. A section of metal grating or mesh is also visible among the debris. Nearby wooden remains include substantial squared timbers, parallel planking, and other structural members lying across the lakebed that appear consistent with collapsed dock or waterfront infrastructure. We are unable to determine from the available footage whether these wooden remains are directly associated with the vessel.
Previously, Coastal Sensing & Survey had classified this target as LU81. Described as an unknown boat.
Shipwreck City is actively researching this shipwreck's history and will provide more details as we learn more.
