    January 15, 2015 Final Report to the Governor and the Legislature As per M.S. 3.303, SUBD. 10 AND M.S. 129D.17, SUBD.2 (D) Project supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Culture Heritage Fund FY 2014 On behalf of the Lake Superior Center Authority, Pursuant to 2013 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 6, clause (e), the Minnesota Legislature provided $200,000 to Lake Superior Center Authority in the first year (fiscal year 2014) of the FY 14/15 biennium for development of an exhibit to examine the effect that aquatic environments have on shipwrecks and to preserve Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage. On behalf of the Lake Superior Center Authority, we are pleased to provide this final report on the project for which we received Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund funding, a project we are calling Shipwrecks Alive! In entering into the grant agreement, the state entity, Lake Superior Center Authority has designated its non- profit, Lake Superior Center dba Great Lakes Aquarium (GLA) to serve as its managing agent for the project. Great Lakes Aquarium is uniquely positioned on the shores of Lake Superior, one of the shipwreck diving meccas of the world, to tell the fascinating story waiting under the waves. It is a story which fascinates all ages. Completed and opened to the public on July 2, 2014, Shipwrecks Alive! provides an insight into the role ships play as underwater habitat once they have sunk. The story is told with a focus on three unique examples of shipwrecks in three very distinct and different parts of the world: Lake Superior; the South Pacific; and, the Mediterranean Sea.

  • Trip Packages Washington Harbor Area
    Isle Royale Info – Trip Packages Washington Harbor Area - Paddling Total Statute Miles 11.73 Total Nautical Miles 10.19 Average Danger 4.988 [Based on 4 or 5 day itinerary] This route takes in the area and campgrounds in Washington Harbor and the entry of the harbor at the western end of the island. It is relatively well protected from the open waters of Lake Superior and the shorelines in this area are accessible if there is the need to go to shore in case of dangerous conditions or an emergency. It should be done by those with intermediate level experience or better because it does take in the Lake Superior waters and there are a couple of short open water sections. It is a good route for those with no open water experience to learn and practice before doing long open water routes. The area this route covers is relatively busy with boats coming in and out and fisherman may dock overnight at both of the campground docks. It features two campgrounds on islands and many historical structures on Washington and Barnum islands along with the “America” wreck which is visible from the surface. This description and itinerary starts from Windigo by taking the Voyageur or Sea Hunter from Grand Portage, Minnesota to Windigo. It is also possible to take the boats from Copper Harbor or Houghton, Michigan, then schedule the Voyageur from Rock Harbor to Windigo, but that would add at least 1 day and additional cost to the trip.
