I think it was built in 1894, you can feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken.
I was talking about the Edmund Fitzgerald, not the Ironton............

And down near the south end of the lake, there’s a circa 1970 model car, and inside it what’s left of Jimmy Hoffa. The murder weapon is in there too.
I heard from a friend of a friend of his, he was put in a 55 gallon drum, sealed in concrete and sunk in the Bahamas Trench........................
:^) The body had to be disposed of, and there's no way it was moved that far. Likewise for out-of-state sites in general, such as the NJ landfill, various stadiums on the eastern seaboard, etc.
Car switch, driven in the second car to his secluded "meeting with Tony Pro", Tony Pro was not in the third car, or in fact anywhere near Michigan at the time.
Hoffa was capped in the back seat of the second car, the body was covered with a blanket or something, then both cars left for the lakeshore.
The death car was driven onto a barge. It was late in the day, no one was around, the barge was chugged out some miles, the murder weapon and probably the killers' clothing was ditched into the car, brick on the gas pedal with the windows rolled down just a little, splash.
They return to the shore, having dressed in fresh clothing, they get in the third car, and all four return to somewhere east and a little south.
Thanks. I looked for that and couldn't find it The recreational maximum operating depth (MOD) for most recreational divers is 130 ft. Apparently, specialized divers can go 164 ft. So the ship is not at risk from "divers" unless you want to classify a submarine or other submersible as a "diver". Bad reporting!
Seeing that life boat was really sad..
I agree.
I thought so too. Just the simple failure to untie that line doomed them and 150 years later we still have the sad reminder.
Pro divers regularly visited the Andrea Doria which i believe is on average around 250 ft.
They have to use trimix gas and can only stay down for like 15-20 minutes and a long wait to decompress on the way up.
I imagine the serious pros have gone deeper...
Interesting and thanks. Did not know that. In comparison I’m a piker at 100 ft.

Looks like free diving pros have gone 200 - 320 meters down …
Not me!
It can be a tricky ride around the Thunder Bay Area . We were with six other boats on a two week trip into the UP, Georgian Bay, in 2007. We went up,the Canadian Coast and returned back to Sandusky on the Michigan side of Huron. We were in 8-10 foot waves and our 38’ Searay was being tested. Suddenly we started getting a bilge siren, went down into the salon, looked around and nothing. Five minutes later another warning, went back down, opened the bilge and it was full of water, we opened the Port head door and water was gushing in the port window. We radioed the other boats to stay with us, CLOSE.. Within about twenty minutes we were out of Thunder Bay in calmer water, limping into port for the night. The upper bow section of the boat had a slight separation from the body, we pumped out and patched up making it back to Lake Erie. So I KNOW there is a Thunder Bay on the west coast Michigan side of Huron.
Not me either!
