Diving the Daniel J. Morrell Engine Room - Thumb Area Bottomland Preserve

A short video of a dive on the Daniel J. Morrell Engine Room located in the Thumb Area Bottomland Preserve of Lake Huron. The Daniel J. Morrell was a large steel freighter that foundered in a storm on November 29th, 1966. All but one (Dennis Hale) were lost with the ship. The story of the Morrell was recounted by Dennis in his book "Sole Survivor". On the night of the disaster the ship broke in two during the storm with Dennis on the bow. The stern motored past the bow after breakup and continued on. The bow and stern are now separated by 6 miles. The bow sits upright in about 200 feet of water. The stern sits upright in 218 feet of water.

Video is a combination of footage shot by Capt'n Cindy Lynch and by a Chasing Innovation M2 ROV.
