--part1_a1.16e1259e.285cd880_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Checotah is in 116' of water, so your second dive will probably be one that is nearby, but shallower, such as F.B. Gardner (55'). There are some great wrecks in that area. I've most often dived the Regina (80') or the Mary Alice B. (92') and the Sport (47'). The wrecks in this area have some interesting history (like many of the wrecks in the Great Lakes). The Regina and the Charles S. Price both were large freighters that sank in Lake Huron in the "Big Storm of 1913", along with 6 other large ships. The Price was floating upside down for a time before it sank, and there was speculation that "the mystery ship" was the Regina. There seems to have been interaction between the crews of the two ships while they were sinking because Price crew members washed ashore wearing Regina life preservers. The Price is less frequently dived since it is becoming unstable. The Regina is a popular dive. It was located in 1986, and can be penetrated from the midsection, where there is a large gash. The Regina is also lies inverted on the bottom. The Sport was the first steel tug on the Great Lakes when she went into service in 1873. She sank in 1920, and was located in 1987. The Mary Alice B. sits upright, completely intact. The tug boat was built in 1931, sank in 1975, and was located in 1992. Other wrecks in the Sanilac Shores Preserve include: Col. Williams (90'), New York (118'), Charles Street (10'), North Star (100'), Eliza Strong (24'), Queen City (45'), City of Genoa (64'), Sweetheart (20'). Farther north, toward Harbor Beach and Grindstone City are the Philedelphia (126') and the Dundenburg (155').
