🚀 It’s live.
After months of work behind the scenes, the new Shipwreck Explorers website is officially launched.
https://www.shipwreckexplorers.com/
This has been a big rebuild — bringing together our dive schedule, Great Lakes shipwreck maps, and detailed wreck information into one place. The goal was simple: make it easier for divers to explore, plan, and get out on the lake.
Now that the site is live, I’ll be actively updating the dive schedule — so keep an eye on it as new trips are added.
The season is here, the wrecks are waiting… and I’m excited to share this next chapter with all of you.

Ken and the 3DShipwrecks team have just published a stunning high-resolution 2025 model of the Milwaukee Car Ferry.
The detail is incredible — you can clearly see structural collapse patterns, hull plate separation, debris scattered across the bottom, and the detached pilot house resting off the main hull. This kind of documentation is invaluable for preservation, research, and dive planning. It gives both historians and divers a new perspective on one of Milwaukee’s most iconic technical wrecks.
Huge respect to Ken and his team for the craftsmanship and dedication behind this work.
If you’ve dove this wreck with us, you’ll recognize the layout immediately. If you haven’t yet… the lake is calling. 🌊

Who was Edmund Fitzgerald, the reluctant namesake of the Great Lakes’ famous ship? When the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald was immortalized, so too was the ship's namesake.
