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.

Norlond (1890)
The Norlond rests upright in about 58 feet of water, with a collapsed hull that reveals a clear and engaging layout to explore. A large boiler, propeller, and driveshaft stand out among the debris field, offering a fascinating look into early Great Lakes ship construction.
