These photos were taken near Sleeping Bear Point northeast along the shoreline to Leland, Michigan up to Northport. Information on the shipwrecks is scarce, the USCG is asking all mariners to please post information to their facebook page if you recognize any of the photographed sites.You can find info on some of the wrecks posted here.
