Shipwreck of the Kyle Spangler, Alpena, Michigan

Last dive of the weekend on the Kyle Spangler. Masts standing proud at 110ft, wreck at 185ft. In November 1860 the Spangler was rammed by the Racine with no lives lost — she was carrying a load of corn. Giant stride into the water as the sun started to show. Descended to around 170ft. The massive mast structures stood tall and the integrity of the wreck still looks awesome today. Worked my way to the bridge house — found it a bit cumbersome with all the tanks on me so I opted to stay out. Walter just turned to the side and glided in — pimping the Spangler for sure. Made our ascent without incident. Back to the shore in beautiful Sunday harbor conditions. An absolute blast. Thank you Joe from Thunder Bay Scuba for another great charter. www.tbscuba.com.
