INTERESTING -The Great Lakes car ferry Ann Arbor No. 5 launched in 1910 and was the largest car ferry on the Great Lakes. In 1967 she was cut down and used as a temporary break-wall during the construction of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant near South Haven from 1967-1969. The Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates (MSRA) learned that around 1970 the forward section of the once magnificent car ferry was cut into manageable pieces, hoisted aboard a working barge and hauled to a scrap yard in Holland, MI. While trying to two the aft to Holland it unexpectedly sank.This wreck reportedly was discovered in the 1970’s by Captain Richard Race during his search for the remains of Flight 2501 though the location was never released to the public and only one or two others ever knew of the find.In May 2005, during the search for Northwest Airlines Flight 2501, MSRA, along with Clive Cussler’s NUMA organization, located the wreckage of the Ann Arbor no. 5 jutting out of the bottom of Lake Michigan at a 30 degree angle in 156 feet of water.
