Symbol question: Lake Huron sectional

South side, towards the west, W83 deg 09 min, N45 deg 08 min, just above
the box for the Alpena VORTAC. Is that a shipwreck with mast sticking
up, or what? Seems that the water would be too deep there for a mast to
be visible. I can't remember ever seeing that symbol before. Anyone?

Sure enough, page 5, "wreck, exposed." The publication's is pointing
one way, the chart's, the other...

Thanks, Rod.

Ahh...Thunder Bay....quite a few wrecks off there (something like 115 i
think).

BTW: The nautical chart has a RACON at that wreck site, the Nordmeer, and it
sits on a boulder shelf at about 6 or 7 fathoms. The USCG has a lighted
buoy outside the boulder shelf that boats are SUPPOSED to travel outside
of...

From http://michiganshipwrecks.com/thunderbay.htm#Nordmeer:
Nordmeer was a steel steamer that run aground on the rocks. A great deal of
the superstructure is above the water. The hull is still intact and the
engine is in about 40' of water. Next to the Nordmeer also lies a wooden
barge. The wreck is located 7 miles NE of Thunder Bay Island.

The symbol means exposed wreck.

Flying down the Door Peninsula a few days ago, from Mackinac Island to
Ephraim, we crossed "Death's Door" -- the gap between Washington Island and
the peninsula.

It was sobering to think of the hundreds (thousands?) of lives lost in those
treacherous waters, while we flew serenely overhead in a matter of minutes.
Having ridden a boat across that gap -- in November -- (and believing
fervently that I was about to die), I can sympathize with those folks...
