Michigan’s Great Lakes have a fascinating and unique history. Throughout the years, Michiganders and visitors alike have indulged in the natural beauty of local beaches and taken countless dips in the cool, refreshing waters. But the Great Lakes have also been home to their fair share of shipwrecks, many of which sit eerily below the waves in their final resting places. There’s one unique tour here in Michigan that uses a glass-bottomed boat to offer visitors a one-of-a-kind glimpse at some of our state’s most intriguing history, and you’ll want to see for yourself.
