Description via NOAA: "The 267-foot long bulk freighter Louisiana was constructed by Morley and Hill of Marine City, Michigan in 1887. After delivering a load of coal to Milwaukee, the Louisiana sailed for Escanaba, Michigan to pick up a load of iron ore. In the early morning hours of November 8th the ship entered the storm and attempted to take refuge at Washington Island in Green Bay but the heavy seas and howling wind proved too strong for the ship’s anchors. Louisiana ran aground and fire broke out in the cargo forcing the crew to abandon ship. The wreck is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is a popular site for divers."
