Dive the Great Lakes: Save a shipwreck The Great Lakes are often called the “wreck diving capital of the world,” and the L.R. Doty, a 112-year-old shipwreck found near #Milwaukee, is a perfect example of why. In the ocean, a wooden ship like the Doty would have begun degrading the moment it sunk, as marine boring worms ate away at the wreck and currents broke it apart. In a cold freshwater lake like Lake #Michigan, the ship survived over a century intact. Even the corn in the ship’s cargo hold is still there, as are–it’s suspected–the preserved bodies of the ship’s 17-person crew.  See the original Field Trip card:  http://goo.gl/OaDkO8 #diving   #scubadiving   #keepexploring   http://youtu.be/Ao1SUtDF_2M
