SS Lakeland, Shipwreck site in Door County, United States.
The SS Lakeland rests 205 feet deep in Lake Michigan near Sturgeon Bay, with its steel hull split in two sections on the lake bottom.
Built in 1887 by Globe Iron Works Company as the Cambria, this 300-foot vessel became the first ship of this size on the Great Lakes.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this maritime archaeological site in 2015, marking its importance in Great Lakes shipping heritage.
The wreck location requires specialized diving equipment and certification for deep water exploration, as it lies in cold waters with limited visibility.
Several Nash and Kissel automobiles from the 1920s remain preserved within the cargo hold of this steel-hulled freighter beneath Lake Michigan.
