Control levers on a ships steam engine in the St Clair Flats

I haven't cleaned it any. Not sure if I will.

Today, this political token was freed from the river's icy grasp. (see photos) Hugh E. Stringer served as sheriff of St. Clair County from 1929-1932. The token is probably from late 1930. 1929 would surely have been an exciting time to have been on either side of the law, since the St. Clair...

Ha-ha, NO, Ted, YOU are the man! I don't even know how to sew...

Found a Singer! Circa 1915. (see photo)

We had a good time there. I put some photos from the morning dive on my page: MLDA Marysville Picnic / Morning Dive 2008 -Ray

I found this thing in the river, next to a giant log. When I scraped some of the **** off of it, and saw that it was made of solid brass, I became flush with excitement. It looks like some sort of hinge, but I'm not sure what it was used for. I guess I should get up off my rear and do some...

I recently found 2 horseshoes (from a horse) and a spike, in Marine City. After the dive, we pitched the horseshoes in Rick's front yard.

Small hardware on the tug WILLIAM DICKINSON. This tug burned in the St. Clair River in 1923. There is a giant boiler, machinery, and lots of small hardware on this wreck.

Bass in the St. Clair River, by the TAMPA and MARYSVILLE wrecks in Marine City.

A hatch hinge on either the TAMPA or MARYSVILLE in the St. Clair River. These two wrecks are sunk near the mouth of the Belle River, in Marine City.

Even though it is mostly about the SS REPUBLIC, they do have some local items on display, including a bottle collection from the St. Clair River, a large trotman anchor also from the St. Clair River, and some items from the REGINA. -Ray

What part of the river are you diving tomorrow?

Hey, who turned the REGINA right side up? Nice trip report.

Hi, I've never been hasseled for diving there, even when the ramp was attended. But it's probably best to go on a weekday when the weather is miserable. Or in the winter time. This is an active boat ramp, after all. -Ray

Fish between the zebra-encrusted engines on the Old Club Yacht in the St. Clair Flats.

If a scuba diver can't produce a c-card quickly enough to satisfy the law enforcement officer, will they be fined? My c-card will either be zipped up inside my drysuit with me, and take time and effort to produce. Or it will be in a vehicle parked a mile upstream or a mile downstream of where...

.50 caliber ammunition from the Tuskegee Airman's P-39 airacobra wreckage in the St. Clair River

Would this make it illegal to be a non-certified diver, unless you also brought a surf board with you?
