About Madeira Wreck

The Madeira was a Schooner Barge operating as a Grain and Ore carrier on The Great Lakes. She sank November 28, 1905 after being caught in a fierce storm and gale winds, while being towed by The William Edenborn. After being cut loose from this vessel, she slammed into a Cliff called gold Rock. Its a beautiful wreck dive with lots to see and explore. This is a Novice to Advanced dive and by boat is far nicer but accessable from shore as well. The first part of the wreck is in 40' of water and midships is in 60' to 70' of water. The Pilot house is in about 87' of water. For shore access you need to check in with the office at the Split Rock Light House and tghey will give you the combination for the lock on the gate to access the parking lot. There is a small one day state park fee.
