We have found an amazing database on the wrecks of the Great Lakes. It has been put together by Bowling Green State University's 'Center for Archival Collections'.
The 'Historical Collections of the Great Lakes' is online at:
http://digin.bgsu.edu/lakes.htm under the heading of: 'Great Lakes Vessels Online Index'. Just type in the name of the wreck and press Submit Query to see if it is listed. If it is, amid the details, you might even find a photo of the ship when it actually sailed. Enjoy!
