North Shore

The Northshore moments before sinking

N 42° 40.165'
 W 086° 19.441'

The tug North Shore, which sank in 150 feet of water in the late 1980s is one of the best local dives in the Saugatuck area. This deep wreck is not for beginners.

MSRA affiliated technical diver Todd White has documented the North Shore extensively and MSRA presents these photos to help you plan your dive.
