About this site
Ironsides was a wooden steamer that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast near Grand Haven in the late 1800s after being caught in a storm. The wreck lies off the western Michigan shoreline in the cold fresh water of the lake, conditions that are known for preserving wooden shipwrecks in good structural condition. The site is rated an advanced dive, and conditions can vary by year, so it is worth checking in with local Grand Haven area dive operators before heading out.
