Ohio was found upright in 2017, over 122 years after her sinking in over 200 feet of water off Presque Isle, Michigan.

She was powered by a low pressure condensing engine which was fueled by a single coal-burning Scotch marine boiler.

[1] In September 1894 Ohio departed Duluth, Minnesota with a cargo of grain bound for Ogdensburg, New York.

[2] On May 23, 2017, researchers from the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary discovered two shipwrecks deep within the waters of Lake Huron, off the coast of Presque Isle, Michigan.

[7] While searching for Choctaw, independent researchers Dan Fountain and Kurt Fosburg found Ohio on July 15, 2017, using a modified fishfinder.

""Ohio and Choctaw are remarkable examples of two very significant Great Lakes watercraft, and both are beautifully preserved.

Virtually all of their rigging and deck hardware is intact, and there is clear evidence of the accidents that claimed both vessels.

Even at their great depth, non-divers and divers alike can learn more about the shipwrecks’ stories through sanctuary efforts to document and preserve the sites.
