Image: Pewabic artifacts - Thunder Bay NMS Michigan

Description: Artifacts aboard the shipwreck of SS Pewabic in Lake Huron, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Michigan, United States. Caption in source document: Moved by divers from their original disposition on the wreck of the steamer Pewabic, several artifacts such as copper ingots and ceramic cups and plates have been placed on deck and are more likely to be looted. Although sanctuary regulations and Michigan law prohibit moving artifacts, the practice occurs at many sites where divers want to provide better viewing and photography opportunities. The sanctuary works with the dive community to curb this practice.... Clearly unacceptable is the handling and relocation of human remains, an activity that has been documented at the Pewabic site. This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 14001096 More images
