Project Goals

This project has many goals. Here are the major ones:

  • To contribute to the archaeological record by obtaining valuable information on shipbuilding and maritime history of the Great Lakes
  • To collect information for creating interpretive materials for divers and nondivers interested in shipwrecks and maritime history
  • To expand the State Historical Society's inventory of Wisconsin shipwrecks and thereby help preserve these resources
  • To gather data for nominating these wrecks to the National Register of Historic Places
  • To provide students with valuable field experience by working side-by-side with professional archaeologists and volunteers
