This has to be one of the nicest shipwrecks I've ever heard of; nobody died in the sinking of it, it sank gently on a calm day and it's still preserved remarkably 130+ years later.
Incredible state of preservation brought to you by the fact that there is a deficiency of free oxygen molecules in those particular waters. A small 1812 flotilla sank in a storm and still sits upright on the bottom somewhere up there.
Lake Superior is huge, by lake standards. It's actually more of a small, fresh water ocean. It is so big that it's as big as the other four great lakes, combined.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. What a wonderful well-preserved ship. It almost looks like you can pick it up and launch it again.
I'm a history nut and have always been fascinated with the intricate detail our ancestors had to the things they made and built compared to today's rushed work and building etc.

@@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu I have gold ingots that I have found shallow diving with metal detectors in my home state of Florida. It is mostly stick and rope ingots. Been doing this over 40yrs. and have done okay for myself. I sell my finds at a local pawn shop no questions asked and he is very fair. Its like tax free money to me.
Aric Stephen I could be wrong but I think you are thinking about the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus that left England in 1845 looking for a route across the “North-West Passage” but got stuck in sea ice!
@@steffeness1 except this one is in lake superior. Extremely cold, deep and very little oxygen. that's why Superior never gives up her dead as the bodies never start to decompose and float to surface.
@@jjmckay6man1 This is clearly a technical dive. Knew a guy that used to do exactly this sort of diving in the Great Lakes. I think it would be a public service if the funds were available to raise these wooden schooners & museum them for the public to see. Grave site or not, so what
@@steffeness1 yeah I am not a fan of disturbing graves. They can watch video of them like most people. wrecks like the Seavern where no one died I'm cool with that if someone wants to spend the money and effort.
I live very close to the south shore of Lake Erie and have numerous books on Great Lakes ships and shipwrecks. I like these comments and Lockbar, I really love your comment.
Very good footage, this is diving, ship wrecks that a diver dreams about. Great work my friends, I'm looking to dive an aircraft in ice cold water at 11,000+ ft. Up in a lake, it's going to be a tek dive for sure. Keep up the good work, if you can show more it's very cool. I'll be posting my dive in the future, we plan on bringing up our find. SEMPER FI.
A commentary of what we were looking at would have made a good video better. I only recognised the plates, and in a later view the crockery in the shelves. One question, what happened to the paint on the outside of the ship?
Wonderful footage!! Is this an accessable wreck?? Or prohibited?? I've got a few respectable guys would love to see this!! We take only pictures and leave only bubbles.
Trust me if you dig far and hard you’ll find the exact coordinates. There are those who only feel they are qualified to see anything underwater. After they seen it they would like the rest if the world to stay away. In my opinion most divers would never touch anything. Yes there are a few who will and you’ll never stop that.
@@Vikseproducts If you've never heard Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," then you wouldn't know. Bodies that sink in Lake Superior never again rise to the surface. Now does the insult make you feel better?
A friend of mine found a sunken ship off of the shores of the Carolinas, he said some items looked solid,....but disintegrated immediately, upon lightly poking them.
Looks like that ship was purposely sunk 16 years ago. It looks like one of those ships if you took all the weights off of it, that it would surface to the shore.
Holy cow for a wooden ship is it made out wood? It looks it? But yeh its bloody good condition for a ship wreck but how long has it been down ther like how old is the wreck?
The link in the description says it sank in May 1884 and nobody died on it. At the time of this video it had been down for roughly 132 years; it sank gently on a calm day.
If this had been in an ocean it would have disappeared by now. Fresh water lacks wood-eating "ship worms," actually a kind of clam. And the ship is down in the oxygen-free anoxic zone, which is mostly absent in oceans.
What is this ship called? It looks like the 1928 steamer the Manasoo found in lake Ontario. Looks luke some treasures artifacts on board. Neat ship helm also.
Nice find, Ken! Too bad there is no longer a Ghost Ships Festival. This would be a winning entry. Could you add comments that pertain to the wreck. Such as the depth, aprox location at least which state, NAME! etc.
memesinablender and youtuber yeah, that's because the water conditions are very different. The water this ship is in is freshwater and is too cold for any wood eating bacteria. The Titanic is in the saltwater ocean and is not in cold enough water to avoid sea life and metal eating bacteria. Sea water is also much worse for metal due to all the salts and minerals in it.
The whole time I was watching this all I could think of was, damn this would make a good one of those scare videos, I just kept waiting for the body to come flying towards the screen lol.. followed by a loud scream! :D Thankfully I didn't need to change my underwear haha.. Hate those videos. lol.. This was really interesting, hundreds of shipwrecks off my home of Cornwall, so envious of people that can dive and get to see them.
There is one wreck in Lake Huron that is a fun one to dive, especially when people are new to the wreck as it lies on its side and there is a porthole with the window closed and the glass intact and it is always the first thing that divers do is to go and look into the ship through that window. When you dive down and go inside of the wreck you can wait by that port hole window for the new divers to look into it, then pop your head up with your flashlight illuminating your face. Watching people scream underwater never gets old.

I simply cannot believe the amazing shape this vessel was in, lying on the bottom of the lake, lo, these many years... absolutely incredible.
Damn. She looks like you could pump out the water, give her a good cleaning, and she'd sail again. That is unreal.

Good job, you guys! Great photography, as well.
How deep it is amazing how clean
The Great Lakes are so much cooler than an ocean, in every way.
... except the fact that visibility is nearly always bad... and there are very few fish
I don't know there is an awful lot of lost gold in the oceans.

Wonder what year this ship went down
That is very cool. Pretty deep down, I saw the extra tanks.
I am amazed how preserved the Seaverne is ..wow! Valiant effort for them to try to get her to port before she sank. Thank God noone perished!
What's the name and age of this Ship.
What's the name of this ship underwater??
Incredible piece of history!
This is amazing footage.
What ship? How did she sink?
I'm glad no one has burned it down after all these years .
Cuz ANTIFA hasn’t found it yet 😆
Amazing. Nothing more to add.
Would like have had info on this shipwreck as the program was played, other wise it's like am doing word association.
It is the Seaverns and it sank in 1884. Just pull the tab down for the link to the Smithsonian article.
Very cool, but you need to find a skeleton still sitting on the toilet.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not gonna happen, all 60 people on board survived according to the story at the link in the description.
Ian Ludgate We know it was not Obama because all the china sitting there would have been stolen.....
It more then likely be a bucket. I doubt they had toilets in those days. LOL
The Clinton's would have stripped it bare like they tried to do to the White House when they left it.
Any updates?
Where is it and what is the ship called
Great!! What was it? What's it's story? How long's it been there?
A ship, sunk, a long time.
Amazing! I want to see more!!!!!!
How old would you amagine it to be ?
So spooky to dive on a wreck like that. Thanks for posting this video.
They should raise it and put it in a museum
wow amazing footage stunning the ship is intact
Cool, does anyone have the ship's name?
What is this ship called?
Incrediblly pristine amazing how the cold can preserve
- if some of that was brought to the surface would it start to disintegrate?
This ship should be raised for museum
Superior, it is said, never gives up her dead.
The big lake the Indians called Gitchigoomie.

Very Interesting! Looks like this footage could have been shot before the proliferation of zebra/quagga mussels but the date on the article is recent.
If there is no damages then how did it sink?
Great video! But I could use some more info!
I used read the Fred Stonehouse stories about the Lake Superior 'boats' as we called them.
It's such a shame that video quality is so low

What's the name of the ship
I bet there was paperwork and some of those drawers. You should have looked
This is because of how cold the lake is. All of the dead bodies from sunken ships in that lake haven't even decomposed because of its temperature.
They should get a dive team to raise that ship out of the water and take it to a dry dock and have the ship repaired and restored
It's all about economics ($$$ or ROI).
Wouldn’t the wood disintegrate?
@@ADrunkCrayfish yeah, 130+ years underwater can lead to rapid deterioration.
awesome, would be cool to see in hi def.
- cool video!
Very nice video. What was the depth and temps?
David Kozinski about 512 feet
What were you breathing? I think I see a Nitrox bottle? And what was you time on the wreck and total time from surface to return.
How old is this ship? anyone know?
Jason Schwartz 1800s
Will Austerman 200 years the Titanic looks like trash and this looks like a freshly sunken ship

Well it sank in 1884 so....
@Island Mike that's too difficult. 🤣
We should bring it up
Isn't that the ship that was carrying a gold shipment when it sank
I wish the titanic still looked that good
The filters they can put on cameras these days is crazy
Lake Superior is very cold thats why the shipwrecks are so well preserved. Also she's known for not giving up her dead.
Nicely preserved wreck. Therein lies the difference between finding a wreck in fresh water versus salt water.
nice work floating and shooting.
How was the water ? Looks balmy you guys ever consider lake superior skinny dipping crew?
Surprised u didnt polish some the metals while u were there send u a buffer an a cord down an some polish...wow
The J.S. Seaverns which sank in Michipicoten harbor in 1884
That is awesome!!
Hull is solid, takes on slight amount of water, ocean ready and no trailer included $50,000 solid, I know what I’ve got
