Another of the many shipwrecks in Marquette’s Underwater Preserve, is the schooner Florida. This two masted schooner was lost with one life in a November Blizzard in 1886.

Some of her remains can be found among the shifting sands in shallow water near the ruins of the old shipping docks in Marquette.

Many ships met their fate during a November gale on the Great lakes, and the Florida is just one of many with stories of unfortunate sailors who lost their life in the process.
