On 16 June, 2010, we were the first divers to reach a shipwreck which lies about 20 miles east of Oak Creek, WI in Lake Michigan. The depth is about 310 feet. The wreck was quickly identified by historians as the L. R. Doty, a 300 foot long wooden steamer that was lost with all hands in 1898. Prior to the discovery, the Doty was the largest undiscovered shipwreck in Lake Michigan. This is the news release clip that was sent out to announce the discovery. It is only a brief overview. More dives are planned. Due to the depth, it will take many dives to fully explore this ship. The divers in the video are John Scoles and Tracy Xelowski.
