The hidden shipwrecks of Lake Huron
About this episode
The episode explores the hidden shipwrecks of Lake Huron, particularly in an area known as Shipwreck Alley.
The Great Lakes hold more than 20% of the fresh surface water in the entire world. If you live here or you’ve been here, you’ve probably gone to the beach. Maybe you’ve gone fishing or gotten water up your nose. But there’s so much more to the Lakes when you look below. Like shipwrecks! Each of the Great Lakes has sunken ships. But in Lake Huron, there’s a place nicknamed Shipwreck Alley. Michigan Public's Rebecca Williams and Jodi Westrick took a road trip north to Alpena from Ann Arbor to check it out. Support for the production of this podcast was made possible by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, as part of its Great Lakes News Collaborative. Music by Blue Dot Sessions.
