The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

The procession was formed on the Avenue, under the Chief Marshal and his associates, elegantly uniformed with scarfs [sic] and lone star badges. It comprised a large portion of our most substantial citizens, who expressed the utmost enthusiasm for the ensign of the Republic, and for Southern Independence. The band moved forward in a chariot drawn by four horses gayly [sic] decorated. Many Lone Star banners fluttered, torches gleamed and the transparencies shone brilliantly. The vast crowd marched first to Judge Wheeler's lodgings, who responded to the loud calls for him, in a calm, deliberate and powerful speech, which stirred to their depths the hearts of the People.

  • Shipwrecked Sailing Vessels of Wisconsin‟S Lake Michigan
    SHIPWRECKED SAILING VESSELS OF WISCONSIN‟S LAKE MICHIGAN By Chad Michael Gulseth Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin- La Crosse 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Chad M. Gulseth All Rights Reserved ii SHIPWRECKED SAILING VESSELS OF WISCONSIN‟S LAKE MICHIGAN Chad M. Gulseth, B.S. University of Wisconsin- La Crosse, 2010 ABSTRACT There are literally thousands of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes. Near the eastern coast of Wisconsin, hundreds of these wrecks lay on the bottom of Lake Michigan. This paper examines the shipwrecked sailing vessels of Wisconsin‟s Lake Michigan in order to answer three main questions. First, what were the most common causes for ships in this region to go down? Second, are any parts of the lake more dangerous than other? Finally, how do these ships appear in the archaeological record? The first question has been answered through an in-depth analysis of the Wisconsin State Historical Society‟s shipwreck database. The second question is addressed by looking at these wrecks spatially in comparison to ports and to one another. The last question is answered through a detailed study of three previously excavated/explored wrecks and two unexcavated shipwrecks. Predictions about the two unexcavated wrecks are then made based on their correlations and similarities with the previously excavated wrecks. One of the most important conclusions discovered in this research is how a ship‟s cargo can break a vessel apart as it sinks, thus causing a large debris field on the lake bottom.

  • Lake Michigan
    SECTION I – BASICS Nomination Title: Lake Michigan - Wisconsin National Marine Sanctuary Nominator Names(s) and Affiliations(s): The Governor of Wisconsin on behalf of the State of Wisconsin; the Cities of Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Port Washington; and Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Ozaukee Counties. Nomination Point of Contact: John Broihahn, State Archeologist, Wisconsin Historical Society, 816 State Street, Madison, WI 53706, (608) 264-6496, [email protected] SECTION II – INTRODUCTION Narrative Description The proposed Wisconsin sanctuary encompasses a key portion of an early transportation corridor that was critical to the expansion of the United States and the development of the agricultural and the industrial core of the Nation. The corridor is marked by 34 known shipwrecks, 122 reported vessel losses, numerous other historic maritime-related features, and communities that have embraced their centuries-long relationship with Lake Michigan. The historic shipwrecks are representative of the vessels that sailed and steamed this corridor, carrying grain and raw materials east as other vessels came west loaded with coal. Many of the shipwrecks retain an unusual degree of architectural integrity, with 14 vessels that are intact. The human history of the lake is intimately intertwined with the natural history. The people living along its shore are and have been influenced by the lake as their activities influenced the character of the lake and its drainage basin. The settlers, along with long-time Native residents, built the industries, harvested the timber, and farmed the fertile soils to create America’s heartland. Figure 1.
