Thunder
Bay National Marine Sanctuary
www.thunderbay.noaa.gov
 Located in
northwestern Lake Huron, Thunder Bay is adjacent to one of the most
treacherous stretches of water within the Great Lakes system.
Unpredictable weather, murky fog banks, sudden gales, and rocky
shoals earned the area the name "Shipwreck Alley." Today, the
448-square-mile Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary protects one
of America's best-preserved and historically significant collections
of shipwrecks. The sanctuary fosters public awareness of its
resources through scientific research, monitoring, exploration,
education and outreach, working cooperatively with its many partners
and the public to protect and manage the site.
