Steamship Redfern and three other shipwrecks discovered in Lake Michigan 


The Manitou Passage Underwater Preserve announced today the discovery of 4 new shipwrecks in the waters of Northwest Michigan.  These shipwrecks include the wooden cargo ship Redfern, a steel tug boat Lauren Castle, a unique "Rabbit" Steamer and one other shipwreck that has not yet been unidentified. These discoveries have been a collaborative effort between the preserve and three shipwreck hunters.   They are all currently in the documentation stage and are being filmed in high definition for viewing by future generations .
