Description
Lying in about 100 feet of water, the shipwreck site is easily accessible by boat. Daniel Lyons is a popular shipwreck for advanced divers, and despite its broken hull, large sections of the hull, machinery, and elements of the ship's rigging make this an incredibly interesting dive site. 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. making this a wonderful dive for more advanced divers.
