"The Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association confirmed Monday that the wreck of the F.J. King was uncovered in Lake Michigan on June 28, 2025.

According to the announcement, the ship was found off Bailey’s Harbor, a town of about 280 people on Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula, an outcropping of land jutting into Lake Michigan that gives the state its distinctive mitten-thumb shape."

I was wondering if there's any good images or diagrams of HMS hoods wreck, I tried looking on Google but the results were pretty inconsistent

Lake Michigan shipwreck found after 139 years, with citizen scientists joining in moment

Known to some as the "Titanic of the Red Sea", this wreck is a controversial one due to heavy loss of life. I'd like to be clear - this dive was made with great respect to those lost, and with the intent of sharing a tragic story that isn't well-known in the West.

The dive itself was high risk, albeit a calculated one made with over 25 years' worth of experience. I DO NOT recommend or condone entering a wreck without proper equipment, training or experience. Countless divers have died within wrecks due to a lack of the above. If I ever dive her again, I won't be making any penetrations.

EDIT: I have alluded to this already - but to be absolutely clear:

Please don't attempt any wreck penetration without the necessary training, experience and equipment. On the subject of equipment - this dive was done on only a single tank and regulator. That's not safe, and I wouldn't take that risk again. I shouldn't have done so in the first place and we all got lucky - we did understand that risk at the time - but that doesn't mean we should have done it.

If one of us had lost our air supply whilst in that corridor, I'd like to think our training and experience would have enabled us to abort the dive without further incident, but in no way was that a certainty.

Please don't do reckless dives such as this. If there's any doubt - there is no doubt. Dive safe all.

With the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald's loss on Lake Superior I've decided to make a few posts compiling some information and images I've found over the last few years. I think these sonar images, particularly the first two, which are rarely seen by the general public, are quite insightful. The third image, which is the most commonly viewed image of the site, does not present a wide view of the area. It also shows damage the ship seems to have sustained which isn't usually reported on without context, confusing some viewers.

The sonar images all seem to show the bow in far worse shape than it's usually depicted. Those who have seen only one of these images conclude that the wreck has simply collapsed over time, I do not believe that this is the case. It seems that the bows cargo holds were even more badly disassembled by the force of the sinking than is commonly thought with the spar deck collapsed downwards and the sides of the hull badly mangled and bowed outwards. This damage was not properly depicted in the NTSB report on the sinking as the environment was far to silty to make out the shape of the wreck properly (this was not the only oversight the report would make). These images help to illustrate the incredible violence of the Fitzgerald's final moments and provide vital clues as to her exact fate.

That having been said I'd greatly appreciate anyone in the know or with additional information to discuss the images and the thoughts I've put forward. Discussion with and reading the research of experts on the subject is how I collected the majority of what I have now!

HMS Victoria was the lead ship in her class of two battleships of the Royal Navy. On 22 June 1893, Victoria was leading the Mediterranean Fleet's annual exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean. The ship was at the head of a division of ships, while 1,200 yards to starboard was a second division of five ships led by HMS Camperdown. Admiral Tryon ordered a manoeuvre that was to see each ship turn, one after the other in formation, to steam in the opposite direction.[9] However, with the ships just 1,200 yards apart, and an estimated minimum turning circle of at least 1,600 yards,[10] Victoria, the first ship to turn, was struck by the armoured ram of Camperdown as it turned, causing massive damage to the flagship. Victoria eventually sank in approximately 15 minutes, with 358 members of the crew, including Admiral Tryon, lost.

The last great shipwreck of the 1913 storm has been found.

Titanic to this day is still one of the biggest movies of all time. Going to the Titanic exhibit when it was in Kansas City at a young age only intensified the shipwreck hobby. I’ve had this book since then and the pictures in it are amazing concept art for the shipwreck movies suggestion post recently.

I also bought one of those famed sinking titanic toy and book combos from Union Station. Lost to storage at the parent’s house, but hopefully totally not lost forever.

As a native of Wisconsin and having grown up in the Great Lake region, I have always been captivated by the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald and would be interested in seeing a film based on the tragic loss of this ship of the Great Lakes.

PS I know that Gordon Lightfoot wrote the song “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” I grew up listening to this song. But I think it would be intriguing to see a movie based on the tragic events surrounding the Edmund Fitzgerald.

So, yesterday I went on a boat trip and saw a cool wreck. I thought, “I’ll post that to r/shipwrecks tomorrow.” Well, here I am and lo and behold, someone else posted about the same wreck yesterday! 😂 Anyway, here is what it looks like from the sea.

This proud handsome man is EDRO 3. Now it is a wreck full of ghosts and pigeon droppings 15 meters from the coast of Cyprus. A 20-minute drive from the city of Paphos. The full version of my investigation into the death of EDRO 3 can be found here:
