Been some time to be back down to this wreck as I tend not to dive out of Milwaukee early in the year, there are issues with the MSD!
The Milwaukee Rail car Ferry is Milwaukee's main dive site being a wreck in the 90' to 120' to the mud.
Jim and I left 3'-5' seas and as usual the No#s we had were of by a 1/4 mile but we did pass a mooring jug (1) this site use to have several Bow,stern and Mid ships well as we made several passes we could see this massive hulk show up on the sonar.
Vis was down to the 30' range and temps I did not look at but were great as I was warm in a dry suit - Jim may chime in on BT.
This clip is a shot mid ship basic to the stern over the smashed Seagate and back up to the Mid ship Mooring, you can see the Port holes and see the rail car trucks just past the deck railing at the end of the video.
If in Milwaukee this is a Great dive, I for the most don't get into big steel as much as the old schooners scattered around the Great Lakes but would suggest seeking a local Milwaukee Charter to dive this wreck as seen On Deep Sea Detectives,
Enjoy the clip!
