Thanks Jay! The Burlington is described on
Michinganshipwrecks as just a few bits of metal in an area that's hard to access
safely due to the high traffic of jet skis and other recreational boaters. I
haven't yet found anything on the Argo, but the location looks more because
she's not right in the middle of a channel. If there's anything left of it, it
might make a good safe site for what would be my first wreck dive in Snoopy,
since the depth is only about 25 feet. I researched boat ramps, and it's
apparently about 2 miles to the closest one. Which means we'd have to get a tow
of some sort. Perhaps someone at the convention has a boat, or else maybe I
can rent something. We'll see, at least this gives me a specific site to aim for
if conditions seem feasible.
