For years, this wreck was believed to be the Luther Loomis, a 29-ton tugboat built in 1889 that caught fire in the Chicago River in 1913 before being towed out into Lake Michigan and sunk. However, recent findings have revealed that this was a misidentification, throwing the true identity of this sunken vessel back into the realm of maritime mystery!

Sitting upright in just 50 feet of water, this unidentified tugboat offers a fantastic and accessible dive for explorers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. Come dive into the unknown and experience this intriguing site for yourself.
