Protected from the high-energy of a shallow water environment, deepwater shipwrecks are often very intact

Protected from the high-energy of a shallow water environment, deepwater shipwrecks are often very intact. Such wrecks are true time capsules, providing unique archaeological, historical and recreational opportunities. Pictured here is the 300-foot long bulk freighter Norman, which sank in 1895, resting just outside the current Thunder Bay sanctuary boundaries.
