At the forward end of the tunnel, the propeller shaft and its massive thrust bearing can be seen. In November of 1926, the Herman H. Hettler was seeking shelter in Munising Harbor when she slammed into a reef. She is now at 30'-40' of water. On the inner edge of the reef where the Hettler struck, her boiler can be found in about 25 feet of water, along with part of her hull and a field of debris such as mechanical parts, tanks, piping, and even a bathtub. The Manhatten , a wooden freighter in 30'-40', hit a reef in October of 1903.
Divers can visit a large portion of the steamer's hull framing.
The vessel's enormous rudder, with its depth markings still visible, lies nearby. The Steven Selvick , a 70' tug intentionally sunk in 1996 in 30'-60' of water. The pilot house starts in 40 ft. of water, making this a great dive for beginners to experts. Divers have access to all areas of the tug. The pilothouse, galley, mess room, engine room, and crew quarters can all be penetrated.
