Summary edit

Description

Fire, ice, collisions, and storms have claimed more than 200 vessels in and around what is now Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Located on Lake Huron, the sanctuary protects the rich maritime heritage of the Great Lakes. The steel bulk freighter Grecian is just one of the many wrecks protected in the sanctuary. Grecian sank not once, but twice, finally coming to rest in what are now sanctuary waters. In 1906, Grecian had its first sinking experience, taking on water after striking a rock in the St. Mary's River, but the vessel was successfully refloated and began a trip to Detroit for repair. It seems Grecian was destined for the deep, however: the vessel unexpectedly took on water and sank in Thunder Bay just one week after its initial collision in the St. Mary's. Today, Grecian can be seen preserved in the cold, clear waters of the sanctuary, with bow and stern completely intact.
