The S.S. Milwaukee, a car ferry loaded down with more than two dozen rail cars, sank during a gale off the coast of Milwaukee in October 1929 with all hands lost. Following the shipwreck discovery in 1972, the S.S. Milwaukee has become a popular wreck for scuba divers. The Wisconsin Historical Society recently received a federal grant to pay for archaeological surveys of the S.S. Milwaukee and four other Lake Michigan shipwrecks in Wisconsin waters. The surveys will be used to nominate the wrecks to the National Register of Historic Places and the photos and historic research will be posted on web sites. ------ Credit: Wisconsin Historical Society
