Eerie Wreck Dive: The schooner Defiance was one of many ships that met its end on the Great Lakes of North America. In 1854, the Defiance collided with another ship, the Audubon, on Lake Huron, near Thunder Bay, on a foggy night as it was coming in from the north. Both ships sank rapidly, but lifeboats were rapidly deployed and both crews were rescued. Both wrecks now lie close to each other on the bottom. It sits perfectly upright, both masts still intact, and you wouldn’t be surprised to find sails still flying. There’s almost a ghost ship-like air to the site, which is by far one of the best shipwrecks in Lake Huron.
