  • Appendix B - Brief History of the Area
    Appendix B - Brief History of the Area There are several book and web sites with historical information about Misery Bay and the Thunder Bay Group. A recently published book by Steve Tongue provides a detailed history of Thunder Bay Island, the lighthouses and life saving station.. Steve Tongue serves as historian for the Thunder Bay Island Preservation Society. While “magnificent in its desolation” today, Thunder Bay Island has a significant legacy: *The second oldest lighthouse still standing on Lake Huron *A lifesaving station which assisted in the rescue of over 1000 lives *A coast littered with the remains of ill-fated shipwrecks *A fishing colony that was home to Alpena’s earliest settlers *Legends of ghosts and the mysterious currents that draw ships to their destruction *Rocks carved with the names of the many who served on and visited the island for over 150 years *Rare plant and animal life drawn to its unique “alvar” ecosystem These are a few of the many fascinating stories told in Lanterns and Lifeboats. Beginning with the voyage of the Griffin in 1679, Thunder Bay Island has provided shelter along “Huron’s rockbound shore,” and its story mirrors our rich Great Lakes maritime heritage. Lanterns and Lifeboats connects the history “above the water line” with the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s latest efforts to preserve and interpret the bay’s rich underwater archaeology. The book is available from the Thunder Bay Island Preservation Society (TBIPS) at P.O Box 212, Alpena, MI 49707. Please send a check for $14.95 plus $2.00 shipping and handling.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has maintained a Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket (“Docket”) under Section 120(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Section 120(c) requires EPA to establish a Docket that contains certain information reported to EPA by Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or from which a reportable quantity of hazardous substances has been released. As explained further below, the Docket is used to identify Federal facilities that should be evaluated to determine if they pose a threat to public health or welfare and the environment and to provide a mechanism to make this information available to the public. This notice includes the complete list of Federal facilities on the Docket and also identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA since the last update of the Docket on August17, 2015. In addition to the list of additions to the Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions of the previous Docket list. Thus, the revisions in this update include 7 additions, 22 corrections, and 42 deletions to the Docket since the previous update.

Divers measure the wreck underwater and then transfer their measurements onto graph paper to create a site plan. Site plans help archaeologists see how the whole site looks. They can tell exactly where parts of the ship are in relation to other things onboard and around the site. Archaeologists can also see from site plans how the ship was built. This is sometimes hard while underwater because ships can be very large, in scattered pieces, or covered with marine life like zebra mussels. Photo mosaics are another great way to look at shipwrecks. A photo mosaic is a picture that is made up of many smaller pictures of a wreck site. These smaller pictures are all pieced together to create a larger image of the whole shipwreck. This image is not measured, but gives archaeologists a look at the shipwreck just as it is underwater.
