Description
Also known as Fitz Simons & Connell Dredge No. 6 (and by some wreck divers as Dredge 906). Lying in about 75 feet of water, the shipwreck site is easily accessible by boat and remains one of Milwaukee's most popular dive sites for intermediate divers. With the considerable overhead environment on this site, divers are cautioned to penetrate the wreck only if qualified. The site is marked with...  a seasonal Wisconsin Historical Society shipwreck mooring buoy, allowing boats to tie up directly above the site while protecting the shipwreck from inadvertent anchor damage and providing a safe point of ascent and descent for divers.   Show more >
