About Daniel Lyons Wreck

The Daniel Lyons were the very first three masted vessel ever built by the renowned Goble & MacFarlane Shipyard in New York. She was enroute to Chicago with a load of bushels when she ran into the Kate Gillet. The Kate Gillet was a double masted vessel. today the Daniel lyons is broken up. Still a beautiful dive.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Thermocline Buoyancy Shift — Sharp thermoclines can cause sudden buoyancy changes.

  • Instant Visibility Collapse — Sediment disturbance can eliminate visibility immediately.

  • Late Detection of Structures — Submerged structures may only appear at very close range.

  • Deceptive Entry Openings — Openings may become restrictive inside due to angle, collapse, or corrosion.

  • Surge-Induced Internal Silt Shift — Internal surge can move silt and debris without direct contact.

  • Partial Overhead Environment — Many wrecks limit direct ascent even without full penetration.

  • Fine Rust Particle Silt-Out — Disturbed rust particles can rapidly reduce visibility.
