Prins Willem V (1948)
One of Milwaukee’s most popular wreck dives, the Prins Willem V is a largely intact freighter resting on its side in 55 to 90 feet of water. Shallow, accessible, and full of character from bow to stern, it offers an engaging and highly photogenic dive for all experience levels.
- Dive Type: Recreational (no decompression)
- Typical Depth: 55 to 90ft (16.7 to 27.4m)
- Required Certification: Open Water (or equivalent)
Excellent for beginner divers. Often dived as a two-tank trip or paired with Gillen Tug, Dredge #6, Norlond, Milwaukee Car Ferry, or other nearby shipwrecks.
Edward E. Gillen (1908)
The Edward E. Gillen (Gillen Tug) is a compact, upright tug in about 70 feet of water, making it an easy and enjoyable dive. Small enough to explore in a single dive yet full of detail, it offers a fun and relaxed experience—complete with the occasional surprise waiting inside.
- Dive Type: Recreational (no decompression)
- Typical Depth: 60 to 70ft (18.3 to 21.3m)
- Required Certification: Open Water (or equivalent)
Excellent for beginner divers. Often dived as a two-tank trip or paired with Prins Willem V, Dredge #6, Norlond, Milwaukee Car Ferry, or other nearby shipwrecks.
