Battle Creek Regional History Museum Hosting Michigan Shipwreck Event

Michigan takes great pride in being the Great Lakes State, but throughout the Great Lakes' history, it has claimed the lives of many people and is the permanent resting place of some very famous ships. Bad weather has gotten the best out of some of the greatest ships ever known, like the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, SS Emperor, and Lady Elgin.

Those are just a few of the ships that have wrecked in the Great Lakes, but there is still so much more to learn about them. Coming up at the end of April at the Battle Creek Regional History Museum there’s going to be a very special presentation by shipwreck Hunter, Ross Richardson. When it comes to Michigan shipwrecks, how many people went missing, and how many aircraft and ships went missing in the Michigan region as well?
