After stopping off at
Silver Lake Sand Dunes and a failed attempt to get to the shipwreck of the
Novadoc from the shore, We went to another beach where the shipwreck of the
Daisy Day remains.

We walk down the
beach front and we end up finding The top of the Boiler of the daisy day. This boiler must be at least 10ft under the
sand with the rest of the wreck so the only thing we could see was the top of
the boiler.

The wreck site is right off of shore and pretty easy to find with
just a mask, fin, and snorkel setup. Afterwards we started to head towards
traverse city to visit the shipwreck of the Elmwood.

The Shipwreck of the
Elmwood rests in about 20ft of water just off shore and just over a sand ledge
that drops from 6ft to 20ft. The Wreck is rather small and appears to be just a
small sailboat or a row boat but the site is good enough to free dive and good
enough for shore divers to visit the small shipwreck. The waters were clear as can be which was
really nice. We went to visit a few other shipwrecks in the torch lake area but
I was only able to find planking and some board remains of other shipwrecks
north of traverse city. It was a fun
adventure to swim in the waters and visit these wrecks and made for a nice day
in the Traverse City area.
