In Alpena, MI, we took the glass-bottom boat tour to view historic shipwrecks resting beneath the crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron. Through clear viewing wells, passengers can see well-preserved wrecks dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.

It was a great day to be on the water
The waters around Alpena are part of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a federally protected area in Lake Huron. This sanctuary is home to dozens of historic shipwrecks, many of which are marked by NOAA buoys to aid in identification and preservation.
