There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Glass Bottom Boats
I got to go on a shipwreck tour - glass bottom boats - last week. It was out of Marquette, MI. Interesting, but you really want to get closer! The guides(?) were very knowledgeable about the ships that sunk, often knowing why they sunk. One of the boats originally sunk in a fashion that left it sticking up in the water, impeding traffic. It had to be blown up for everyone's safety. What I didn't hear was who did the exploding: Army Core of Engineers or is there a Coast Guard equivalent?
One of the wrecks had a barrel of some sort that divers would move around occasionally, so our guide didn't know where it was originally. There were no pokemon visible, either.

Thank you Bob, I haven't heard that song in quite some time.
And speaking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I was just up at Whitefish Point last spring. Here are a couple of photos. Also below is a movie trailer for "Graveyard Of The Great Lakes".

Now this brings back some memories. I lived in Duluth--right at the tip of Lake Superior--for over twenty years. The lore of shipwrecks was very much known at that time.
Was in Indiana when the Fitzgerald went down. I knew the Captain. He was a customer at my store in Duluth. That particular wreck became personal for me.
If you want the complete information about Great Lakes Shipwrecks, look for the book of the same name by Dr. Julius F. Wolff. Many great pictures and very complete details about most of the wrecks through the 1970's.
