I love the fact that this is so well preserved for the most part. What a wonderful find. What time and the waves rolling over it haven't destroyed is still in very good condition. Plus the fact that there's no salt in the water makes preservation even better! The choice of music was fitting although there a couple bow squeaks here and there. I am looking forward to see more. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us who cannot dive the great lakes.
Great video and awesome choice of music! This video got me back into diving again after 14 years. I dove her August 24 2016 and she is still as beautiful as the video. Thank you John.
Fantastic filming, and I couldn't disagree more with the person below - this is the single greatest piece of music I've *ever* heard accompanying underwater film footage...utterly haunting & beautiful!
I dove on this wreck 35 years ago. What memories. The deck was completly intact back then, could only enter hull through cargo hatches. Lots of deck fittings where still there. Still an awesome wreck. Great shots.
It's been pillaged for anything p3ople can grab....even the planks..looks like handprints a few places along the holes like someone was pulling them up but may be from pulling themselves through hatches
AWESOME VIDEO! I grew up going to Munising every summer as a kid to visit my grandparents and now my mom is retired there so we go to that ship wreck a lot by boat but I've never seen it up close ! Thank you for the Video! great job!
That's awesome! I'd love to dive that since it's only in 30 ft of water. Only need 1 tank but at least a 5 mil with hooded vest , or maybe a 7 mil with hooded vest in there. Superior is pretty damn cold I know
I got open water cert. in 8/20/72 Worked commercial diving for 11 years. Now old has been two strokes can only watch videos. No family. I enjoy the videos brings back good and fun memories.
My family used to run one of the charter services up there in the 70s and 80s. Nice work capturing the wreck! This video brought back many fond memories.
Nice video John.I dived it back in the 80's.I remember seeing a glass bottom boat come over us.I like your rebreather,it looks like a closed circuit system,no bubbles!
Stunning video,as many times in munising and grand island was never aware of it! Zebra mussels must not like cold water major difference between lower lakes , clarity is awesome!!!
Beautiful!!!! And I think the choice of music is perfect for this. Mysterious, sad, ominous and haunting. I can't help but think of the crew's last moments on this ship as they struggled to keep it afloat. And how many died? Surprised it's so well preserved being that shallow too. Thanks for posting this.
MaxSpeedMedia it's never too late to learn Scuba. I waited nearly 40 yes FORTY years from the time my desire to Scuba dive was piqued until I took my OW certification course just last year!
It’s quite amazing really the ship is wood plus it’s cargo cover blew up from the pressure into the sky it’s still has not been found but the ship is otherwise intact
a year ago I was in Paradise, Michigan on a fishing trip with a buddy and we made a stop at the Ship Wreck Museum* There I read that all wrecks weren't far at all from land and not in deep water* Very sad yet interesting, after my visit I've become even more interested in ship wrecks*
Hijak: I dove this one a couple of times. Great dive. The Smith Moore, a wooden steam barge in 90' of water. This is the most famous shipwreck in the area. The Smith Moore was lost in the Munising East Channel on July 13, 1889 as the result of damages suffered in a collision. The wreck lies nearly intact on the sand bottom.
like the video nice good condition of shipwrek, breaking of deck due to rigging falling down or ancring dammages? any remains of steering construktinon. weel or "stick"?
Superior is the only Great Lake that hasn’t been seriously affected by the invasive Zebra Muscle. The Great Lakes hav some of the best preserved wrecks in the world but the 4 lower lakes, recreational diving has seen these muscles attached too the wrecks and are hiding the true beauty of these time capsules!
that wall midship, is it a box for a "mobile" keel? strange to se bulkhead going from keel to upper deck in that mannor/ direktion. or maybe a reinforsment to prevet long ship deformation? (midship hull rasing in relation to bow stern , over time due to difrent water desplasment / uppdrift)
Back in the 70's before preservation, you could still plunder these ships, people wanted portholes and anything brass. Tables, even the wood was grabbed and used for coffee tables. I know this by an older guy that used to dive on them. Cables, brass, anything metal was taken. Oak batrrels, lanterns, personal effects, all plundered until the later 70's then maritime laws put a stop to it. I remember going to flea markets seeing port holes and hatches being sold anything ship wreck brought big money on the resale market. The poor populations up in the UP thought nothing of pilfering these old ships. They would strip them of their wood if they could. I see brand new snowmobiles being stolen up there every winter. The police dont even bother looking because they probably get kickbacks.
Is this the wreck in the bay that had to have the mast removed so it wouldn't be a hazard to other boats cruising through the area? Just curious from non diver non boater.
John, would it be possible to use a couple of seconds of your footage, so I could incorporated the Bermuda into my project. I'm working on a video to showcase Grand Island and I would love to show couple seconds of the shipwreck, I will give you full credit at the end. Thank you.....

Everyone's a critic.
What I find most intriguing than the ship itself is the amazing sound system producing this music. What a system!
This is the music the band was playing when it went down.
That's hilarious! The guy sawing on the violin probably got thrown overboard.
They're STILL Playing It.
What a Grand Old Ship - Nice Video - Thanks...
Great video and awesome choice of music! This video got me back into diving again after 14 years. I dove her August 24 2016 and she is still as beautiful as the video. Thank you John.
Beautiful video. In cold Lake Superior water! Nice to see such a well preserved old wreck.
You have a good eye for shipwrecks! Yes, that is my video of the Bermuda in Great Lake Warriors.
Fantastic filming, and I couldn't disagree more with the person below - this is the single greatest piece of music I've *ever* heard accompanying underwater film footage...utterly haunting & beautiful!
Very nice camera angle swimming right over the bow an down the deck really enjoyed the slow speed nice touch ..nice wide open deck
I had no idea the enormity of the schooner until the diver came into view. Phenomenal footage! Music was great too! Thanks
Every year me and my family take a trip to Munising and there is a boat ride where you can see shipwrecks and the Bermuda was one of the ships we saw
My family went out two years ago and only saw one ship. Two water spouts formed and we had to turn back. Lol
just saw the boat in person! i only saw it on a boat but i had no idea it was this cool
I dove on this wreck 35 years ago. What memories. The deck was completly intact back then, could only enter hull through cargo hatches. Lots of deck fittings where still there. Still an awesome wreck. Great shots.

Great Footage!! Thanks.
How to start a fight on the internet: 1. Write something (anything) 2. Wait
@Experimental Channel Still laughing at that....
Oh it's on now !
Still waiting........2020.
lol that tickled me
Fuck you
Great clip... love the slow moving over and through the ship.. Music's good to.
Hi John, Great video! We are still alive living in CH. Still diving caves and Livin the dream🙂 Hope you are well.
That's awesome! I'd love to dive that since it's only in 30 ft of water. Only need 1 tank but at least a 5 mil with hooded vest , or maybe a 7 mil with hooded vest in there. Superior is pretty damn cold I know
this is great footage from a GoPro, I think i would like to dive this over the summer. great video!
Thanks for sharing. Going thru my first diving certification right now.
I got open water cert. in 8/20/72

beautiful and haunting cello music accompanying an incredible dive - I was captivated by your video - thank you
amazing that a wooden wreck is so well preserved after such a long time
Wonderful video. So clear and detailed. Beautiful ship too. Thank you
What an awesome video- quality and color is excellent. My kid and I really loved watching it.
Nice video John.I dived it back in the 80's.I remember seeing a glass bottom boat come over us.I like your rebreather,it looks like a closed circuit system,no bubbles!
No matter what ship it is... an old time wooden pirate ship or a big beautiful gorgeous iron ship like Titanic, shipwrecks always fascinate me.
Absolutely hauntingly beautiful. I love the U.P. Thank you!
Stunning video,as many times in munising and grand island was never aware of it! Zebra mussels must not like cold water major difference between lower lakes , clarity is awesome!!!
This is the best thing I've ever found on youtube. (except for 'ain't nobody got time for dat!" and the soundtrack is wonderful. just wonderful.
Oh jeebus it's a fire !
She's a grand old lady! Very beautiful!
I used live near Munising so nice you got there, thanks
This is incredible footage. We dove this today and the viz was about 15 feet. At least there are no zebra mussels.
I just went free diving to that wreck last week it was so beautiful perfectly preserved ship really gave me in aw in how cool it was
can you see much from snorkeling or freediving?
@@fritzkramerkramer7855 I saw the whole outside of the ship and the deck in pretty great detail
@@Vader4Life77 thats awesome! i think I will be snrorkaling this summer!!!
So well preserved!fascinating...cold fresh water ?
Freezing year round
Yes. Lake Superior is so cold stuff is perfectly preserved, such as the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew of 29.
Beautiful!!!! And I think the choice of music is perfect for this. Mysterious, sad, ominous and haunting. I can't help but think of the crew's last moments on this ship as they struggled to keep it afloat. And how many died? Surprised it's so well preserved being that shallow too. Thanks for posting this.
Wow great footage, I always wanted to learn how to scuba...
MaxSpeedMedia it's never too late to learn Scuba. I waited nearly 40 yes FORTY years from the time my desire to Scuba dive was piqued until I took my OW certification course just last year!
Wow! that is a gorgeous wreck.
I would not have expected the water to be this clear in a lake
It’s quite amazing really the ship is wood plus it’s cargo cover blew up from the pressure into the sky it’s still has not been found but the ship is otherwise intact

There used to be an old wooden barrel on deck,wonder what happened to it?
Great video brought back memories.
The weather started getting rough.
The tiny ship was tossed.
insane video quality!
The deck looks like it's just dusty and a corn broom would clean it right up. Amazing
Hijak: I dove this one a couple of times. Great dive.
The Smith Moore, a wooden steam barge in 90' of water. This is the most famous shipwreck in the area. The Smith Moore was lost in the Munising East Channel on July 13, 1889 as the result of damages suffered in a collision. The wreck lies nearly intact on the sand bottom.
this is the cleanest wooden I've ever seen.
So cool! Do you think i can snorkel this?? why or why not??
Bulk ore carrier? Fantastic music, great vid. Beautiful vis.
I love the Great Lakes
Amazing it's made of wood and still around to this day.
It's c-c-c-cold.
So much nicer than the Sweepstakes.
This and the Smith Moore are two of my favorite dives.
like the video nice good condition of shipwrek, breaking of deck due to rigging falling down or ancring dammages? any remains of steering construktinon. weel or "stick"?
I like the music :)
The bow on shot at 12:16 is awesome.
Hey there - we're featuring this today on Absolute Michigan (dotcom)
Superior is the only Great Lake that hasn’t been seriously affected by the invasive Zebra Muscle. The Great Lakes hav some of the best preserved wrecks in the world but the 4 lower lakes, recreational diving has seen these muscles attached too the wrecks and are hiding the true beauty of these time capsules!
wow , what a great video!!!! the music is great. I really liked this , tx for posting!!!!!
Beautiful video, with apt music.
Wow. So much beauty. The timber alone would make it worth salvaging. Imagine the grain and colours.
that wall midship, is it a box for a "mobile" keel? strange to se bulkhead going from keel to upper deck in that mannor/ direktion. or maybe a reinforsment to prevet long ship deformation? (midship hull rasing in relation to bow stern , over time due to difrent water desplasment / uppdrift)
Dam...that ship was picked clean over the years. No relics left
Coordinates please. Been picked clean, but there is always something good to be found if you look in the bilges and scattered around the wreck.
beautiful
Amazing!
I've been to Munising many times :)
We'll be there in May. I would like to see a shipwreck but we're not divers. Are there any to be seen from land or boat?
Looks like the mast was recovered
Awesome ,
why no zebra mussels?
cool video

I’m 14 and have been to the wreck many times as my grandparents live on the beach near so we take there boat out and look at it
Amazing 😉
I wish I could have seen it then. Do you have any photos from back then?
Is this old schooner Dreadnaught? Looks the same as the one I dove on in the 80s.
YEs, it is sometimes called the Drednaught.
Hmm , it had a tiller ?
Is this the wreck in the bay that had to have the mast removed so it wouldn't be a hazard to other boats cruising through the area? Just curious from non diver non boater.
I dove this wreck...I would do it again given a chance
I dove that wreck, I am surprised the the water is not as clear as it is most of the time.
How many of you turned the volume down completely watching this video?😊
Very Cool :) and her condition shes in is pretty neat.
Man i hope i reach Mr. Janzens skill level before i leave this rock.
I see they took the iron ore out of the hold. It sparkled like silver.
Lake Superior is a very cold lake.
How many shipwrecks have been discovered??
i just worder canu see this wreck fromthe surface yes or no
Can anyone dive this? Or is permission required
I may be wrong but if you watch the first episode of History Channels new show Great Lakes Warriors they show a clip of this video starting at 9:35
John, would it be possible to use a couple of seconds of your footage, so I could incorporated the Bermuda into my project. I'm working on a video to showcase Grand Island and I would love to show couple seconds of the shipwreck, I will give you full credit at the end. Thank you.....
No zebra mussels? Thought the Great Lakes were infested with them
Superior has low dissolved nutrients and its cold temperatures deter the mussels.
She still has her lines. Thanks
This boat is very rarely. I cant believe that those boat sink and still perfect bottom.
the best 13:42 minutes I've spent in a long time.
Where are all the zebra mussels?
All the great lakes are low allgey but lake superior is really rocky
That noise made me tap out early.
Very little marine life for a shallow wreck site??
Jimmy Page had to be playing the cello. Gives you goose bumps 😎
why is there so little vegetation , fish / wildlife in the lake ?
