Other Info
A more recent shipwreck in the preserve is the Cedarville, which was a 588 foot self-unloading freighter that sank with a load of limestone in 1965 after a collision. The Cedarville was heading west and approaching the Straits of Mackinac in a fog when it was struck by the Norwegian vessel Topdalsfijord. The Cedarville is in about 110 feet of water with the hull of the vessel within 35 feet of the surface. The ship’s superstructure and cabins lie at 75 feet almost upside down. The ship has many opportunities for penetration, but can silt to zero visibility inside. Caution for all divers going inside is recommended.
