The Atlantic is probably the most historically significant shipwreck on the bottom of Lake Erie. The great luxury sidewheeler was designed to carry up to 800 passengers from the New York Central Railroad terminus at Buffalo to the Michigan Central at Detroit. The Atlantic was a large vessel for her day; 267 feet long, a beam of 33 feet and a depth of 12 ft. 7 inches. Around 2:00 am on Friday, August 20, 1852, the 275 ft. steamer Ogdensburg rammed into the Atlantic, leaving a large hole below the waterline on her port side. The vessels disengaged and continued on their respective courses. It soon became evident that the Atlantic had suffered serious damage. The captain attempted to run the vessel towards shore, but she began sinking by the bow. The Ogdensburg, some two miles away, could hear the screams of terror and returned to the sinking ship, picking up about 250 survivors. However, over 300 passengers perished.

At 4 a.m. on July 14th, 1970, with a cargo of "pig iron", the Eastcliffe Hall struck a shoal and sank within minutes with 9 loss and 12 survivors recovered from the masts and hatch covers that saved them. Life boats were not able to be lowered due to the list and quickness of the sinking vessel. Capt Albert Groulx and his 16 year old son were among the lost crew. The forward superstructure (upstream) has been dynamited back into the forward hold to clear the site as a navigational hazard. Though the surface current is quick, it becomes less on the wreck deck and the open holds provide additional shielding from the current. Normally, visibility is good and with your visit to the holds you will see the pilothouse, masts, living quarters as well as iron ingots that remain from the original cargo.

The sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the loss of her 29-member crew during a violent fall storm on November 10, 1975, just northwest of Whitefish Point in southeast Lake Superior was at the time the worst maritime disaster on the Great Lakes in nine years. Of the more than 1000 ships that have found their graves under the icy waters of the Great Lakes, the Fitzgerald is still the largest ever to go down. Just like the Titanic, the demise of this seemingly invincible vessel has attracted widespread attention and inspired songwriters and authors to tell her story.

The Lillie is one of the areas most popular wrecks, lying upside down in 50' to 70' off of Sparrow Island, in a strong current on the edge of the shipping channel. Recommended diving on the Lillie is off of Sparrow Island. Walk across the island to the west side and enter the water near the anchor sitting on shore. Follow the anchor chain down to the wreck. Depending on the current, you might feel like a flag in the wind. Explore the wreck and then drift around the island back to where the boat is docked. You will have to pay close attention to detail as to not miss the end of the island. There is normally a rope line running up to the edge of the bay where the boats park.

The large wooden schooner, Tasmania, originally named the James Couch when she was launched on April 22, 1871, at Port Huron, Michigan foundered on October 20, 1905. All 8 people on board perished. Considered a menace to navigation the Tasmania was dynamited on July 13, 1906. The Tasmania's large timbers remains and iron ore cargo are scattered on a sand and rock bottom. The site offers many mounds of iron ore, part of the original cargo, as well as a small donkey boiler used for cargo handling. One of the most impressive sites on this wreck was the two enormous wooden stock anchors; some Ohio area divers stole one. Since then, it has been returned by U.S. Custom's agents and is now back on the ship with the help of S.O.S. Windsor.
