SS Jarvis Lord, Shipwreck site in Lake Michigan, United States.

The remains of SS Jarvis Lord, a wooden bulk freighter measuring 180 feet in length, rest scattered across the lake bed in the Manitou Passage.

Built in 1872, the SS Jarvis Lord transported iron ore until August 18, 1885, when it sank near the Manitou Islands after taking on water.

The discovery of this vessel by Ross Richardson in 2020 expanded the documented maritime heritage of the Great Lakes region.

The shipwreck location coordinates are available to certified divers who wish to explore the underwater archaeological site in Lake Michigan.

Survivors from the sinking reported being struck by debris as they escaped in the last lifeboat while the vessel broke apart beneath them.

Location: Leelanau County

GPS coordinates: 44.96306,-85.98972
