Thomas Hume Shipwreck in New Buffalo

When you envision a shipwreck, it probably looks a lot like the Hume. In 1891, this 131ft long schooner sank far offshore in Lake Michigan. For the next 112 years, she was listed as 'missing without a trace' along with her crew of 7. In 2003, the wreck was discovered, sitting upright and in beautiful condition. The port bow anchor is resting in place. The chains spill off the starboard bow and the mast lies across the deck.

 

There are, however, two challenges in diving the Hume. The first is the location. This wreck lies 24 miles offshore of New Buffalo, so we need a full-day charter and perfect weather conditions. Depth is the second issue. The deck sits at 135ft of water so recreational divers must be comfortable with the depth. Those wishing to dive to the anchors and hull will hit 150ft and must be technically trained.

 

This package includes a 2-tank full-day boat charter.

Divers: Master Diver (or equivalent experience) and comfortable in cold-water conditions.

Dive time: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
