Ross Richardson of Lake Ann said he uncovered the wrecks this summer in the waters around the small Island of Skillagalee, located between Beaver Island and the northern Lower Peninsula community of Cross Village, The Grand Rapids Press (http://bit.ly/10KU6ac ) reported. An extensive reef system about four feet under the water was responsible for many shipwrecks in the area before advanced navigation.

He found four other wreck sites during his three trips to the island. Richardson believes one of his other discoveries, the largest of the Skillagalee wreck sites with the greatest amount of artifacts present, is the wreck of the 150-foot brig Julia Dean. The captain blamed the ship's 1855 sinking on Beaver Island pirates. The three other wrecks remain unidentified.

In that hotbed of heathenism north central OR various cities and towns.
I thought that he would go to an English speaking country like India or the Philippines, but he’s 6 hours drive from home.
Has he had any conversions?
Mormon Pirates
lol
LOL indeed! I get a hilarious visual in my head whenever I think about them (imagine Spongebob-styled pirates) .
Maybe someone should get that tidbit to the creators of South Park...
Laugh all you want; matey!!
Oh, I'm laughing - believe me! Check out this podcast:
Drunken sailors, Mormon leaders, and even the U.S. government couldn't stop James Strang! After failing to succeed the Mormon throne, Strang took his followers to the most unlikely island in MI, and in doing so he spared no expense in imparting mad rules opon the populace! This is an episode you definitely have to hear.
Not at all. I'm not a Mormon...................
Someone wake up Johnny Depp, we got a movie to film!
So; false teaching about Christ doesn’t bother you?
It doesn’t want to load for me...
It didn't for me, either, which is too bad because the graphic and idea by themselves are hilarious.
False teaching about Christ has been going on for 2000 years, in one form or another. I will not be their judge on Earth.
2 Peter 2:1
[ False Teachers and Their Destruction ]
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought thembringing swift destruction on themselves.

Petosky stones. I have found several in Glen Lake, separated from Lake Michigan by The Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. A wonderful, wonderful place!
“A Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil, often pebble-shaped, that is composed of a fossilized rugose coral, Hexagonaria percarinata.[1] The stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern (and some in the northeastern) portion of Michigan’s lower peninsula. In those same areas of Michigan, complete fossilized coral colony heads can be found in the source rocks for the Petoskey stones.
Petoskey stones are found in the Gravel Point Formation of the Traverse Group. They are fragments of a coral reef that was originally deposited during the Devonian period.[1] When dry, the stone resembles ordinary limestone but when wet or polished using lapidary techniques, the distinctive mottled pattern of the six-sided coral fossils emerges. It is sometimes made into decorative objects. Other forms of fossilized coral are also found in the same location.”
More likely shallow sand bars which inhabit the great lakes as well as attached lakes such as lake Charlevoix.......
“Hmmm didnt know two things: #1 that coral reefs were possible in lake Michigan, “
