Lumberman

   The Lumberman was a three-masted schooner of 128 feet in length.  On Apr. 7, 1893, the ship left it's winter port of Chicago for Kewaunee, WI for a load of lumber.  A storm blew out of the west while it was off of Oak Creek, WI.  The schooner was too high in the water because of the empty load and capsized.
    Today, she lies in 65 feet of water intact.   The deck sits at about 50 feet.  The cargo hulls are empty and are an easy swim through from one hold to the next under the decking.
