Cadillac producer releases Michigan Dive Travel video

Thursday, January 22, 2009

Knapp’s 30 minute "Shipwrecks of the Upper Great Lakes of Michigan" Dive Travel video features an underwater tour of the Great Lakes’ shipwrecks and "topside tour," showcasing the area’s landscapes and attractions.

Soar in a bi-plane over northern Michigan’s landscape and see the Mackinaw Bridge, Sault Ste. Marie and the world-famous Soo Locks. Tour some of the area’s historic light houses, Tahquamenon Falls, Mackinac Island then visit the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point on Lake Superior. Take a dive in Munising at the Alger Underwater Diving Preserve and enjoy a sunset cruise along the famous Pictured Rocks National Shoreline. And take a scuba diving tour with these shipwrecks:

• Two in Lake Michigan: the Eber Ward, sunk in 1909; and the Sandusky, sunk in 1856 during the Civil War.

• Two in Lake Huron: the Cedarville, which sank in 1965, is the third largest shipwreck in the Great Lakes and Knapp’s "spookiest" dive because 10 people died on board when the ship went down and since the shipwreck, 10 more people have died diving the wreck for various reasons; and the William Barnnam.

• Four in Lake Superior, just off Munising: the Steven M. Selvick, a 71-foot city class tugboat; the Herman H. Hettler, a 200 foot three-masted steam barge; the Smith Moore, a 226-foot woodenhulled steamer; and the Bermuda, a 145-foot schooner.
