There were lots more......just type in Great Lakes Shipwrecks. Gretchen _http://www.boatnerd.com/swayze/shipwreck/_ (http://www.boatnerd.com/swayze/shipwreck/) _The Great Lakes Shipwreck File 1679 - 1998_ (http://www.boatnerd.com/swayze/shipwreck/) --------------------- _http://www.shipwreckmuseum.com/_ (http://www.shipwreckmuseum.com/) _Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, A maritime museum in upper peninsula Michigan on Whitefish Point_ (http://www.shipwreckmuseum.com/) ----------- ORIGINAL QUESTION: From: "Karen Prytula" Subject: Ship List - website Hello Listers It was from this list that I saw a link to Great Lakes Shipwrecks...The wrecks are sorted alphabetically by ships name. Could someone please post that link again, cause I'm having a tough time either with the spelling or incorrect name , but I can't find that alphabetical listing anymore.... BUT / AND What I'm really trying to find out is if there is a similar site for Shipwrecks on the St. Lawrence River (leads to the Great Lakes). My great grandfather x8 died in a shipwreck in 1783 in the St. Lawrence River. He would have been about 66 years old at the time. As a younger man he was the Captain of a ship, but I don't know which one. But when he was 66 years old he was living on Isle-aux-Coudres, which is an Island in the St. Lawrence River, and today it is part of Quebec, Canada. I have 'googled' shipwrecks in the St. Lawrence and am prepared to spend the rest of my life reading every one of the 98,000 web pages that might or might not hold a clue as to the fate of the ship he was aboard. So I was just wondering if anyone knew of a really good web-site where I should start first. I KNOW PASSENGER / MANIFEST RECORDS DID NOT HAVE TO BE KEPT PRIOR TO 1865..but I will not be discouraged from looking anyway and any further advice is definitely welcomed. Thank you for any advice you may have to offer... KarenP Canada
