The Great Lakes Scuba Divers and Lake Preservation dive club in Marquette, MI. installed  a Coast Guard approved lighted buoy on the wreck of the D Leuty. The Leuty was seeking shelter from a snow squall on October 31st. 1911. She almost made it. In fact, she went down less than 1000 feet from the Marquette lighthouse. She lies in 25 to 40' of water and is an easy wreck to dive. Though much of it was salvaged, the history and convenient location make it a great dive.
