the William Davock wreck

[parrothead600]

According to the book that I have, The Novadoc is @ 43 46.930N 086 26.685W in approx 12-15' of water. The GPS#s put it west of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. I have talked to someone that has been there, he also said that it was not recognizable as a ship. They just snorkeled on it.
I didn't find any GPS#s on the William Davock, but it is listed as 2.9 miles off Little Sable Point in 215'-240' of water.
It does look like the Comanche & the Anna C Minch would be good choices for diving close to port.

The Minch stern is in tact and a pretty good dive. The Commanche was the best out of Pentwater in my opinion. It's only a few miles out of the harbor. Do the Commanche first and the Minch stern on your way back in. Both can be done in half a day on not lots of fuel. I think you're all right about the Novadoc and Davok.

My family has had a place in Pentwater for a couple generations. We are lucky enough to become good friends with the neighbors across the street, and I had the pleasure of hearing tales from "Corky" Cross who captained the fishing boat that resuced the sailors off the Novadoc.

As I recall, the Minch and Davock supposed collided in the storm. This is what caused the Minch to be cut in two. However, there were no survivors of either wreck, and I seem to recall some more recent evidence that showed that they just happened to be unlucky enough to sink near each other and the Minch split as it sank.

Now that I have my C-Card I cannot wait to dive these sites
