The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society was founded in 1978 by a group of divers, teachers, and educators to commence exploration of historic shipwrecks in eastern Lake Superior, near Whitefish Point in Michigan’s scenic Upper Peninsula. Today, this non-profit organization operates two museum sites on historic properties: The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Point Light Station, Whitefish Point and the U.S. Weather Bureau Building, Soo Locks Park, Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan.
The Shipwreck Museum is open to the public seasonally from May 1 to October 31; and the Weather Bureau is open year-round. Please call 800-635-1742 for exact hours.
