Murray Bay Wreck

     This shipwreck has been the focus of much maritime research over several decades and no one is still quite sure which vessel it is.  It has been called the Bermuda, Arnold, Dreadnaught, and Grenada among others. To play it safe, it is referred to now as the "Murray Bay Wreck" because it is located in Murray Bay off the south side of Grand Island.
    This is probably one of the most visited shipwrecks in the Great Lakes.  The 145 foot schooner lies intact in 30ft of water.   Large schools of rock bass as well as freshwater sponges are frequently found on the wreck.  Penetration through the open cargo holds can be done without use of a light but is beneficiary to see the details of the construction of the ship and deck.
