• Nordmeer - Depth 0-40 ft: This ocean-going freighter stranded in shallow water. This wreck is broken up but covers a lot of the lakes bottom. There is a lot to see and a great place to take pictures.

Many ships ended up at the bottom of Alpena lake floor due to fog banks and sudden gales along with the rocky shoals. With a shipwreck sticking out of the water to depths deeper than 200 feet.
