SS Clifton, Shipwreck in Lake Huron, United States.
The SS Clifton lies 100 miles offshore in Lake Huron at a depth suitable for technical diving exploration.
Built in 1892 as a whaleback freighter, the SS Clifton transported iron ore across the Great Lakes until its tragic sinking in 1924.
The loss of Captain Emmett Gallagher and 25 crew members during a severe storm led to the creation of maritime folk songs.
The wreck site, discovered in 2016, contains the vessel's intact self-unloading mechanism and remains accessible to qualified technical divers.
The rounded hull design of this 308-foot vessel represented an experimental approach to Great Lakes freight transportation in the late 1800s.
