Daniel J. Morrell shipwreck, Lake Huron, USA

With the recent passing of Dennis Hale (September 2, 2015) the sole survivor of this wreck, and the upcoming anniversary of it's loss, I have become somewhat nostalgic. My father Donald Worcester, Oiler from Columbia Falls, Maine was lost on this ship November 29, 1966. Thank you John (and crew) for the outstanding video of both sections of the ship. Your professionalism and final dedication to the crew is greatly appreciated by those of us that this tragedy touched. Fair winds and following seas, Mr. Hale. Give my Love to Dad.

Dennis was my grandpa and I love seeing this video. Thank you

Excellent video! Having sailed on the Great Lakes freighters for many years and knowing Dennis Hale, I want to commend you all on the incredible job you did and the respectful nature in which you memorialized an important Historical Shipwreck site and the memory of those lost on the Morrell. Well Done!

I'm originally from Arena County MI. I was 12 when Edmund Fitzgerald went down. It was a big thing to me as I never really understood that while we were getting "interesting" weather about 20 miles inland from Saginaw Bay there were unholy violent storms out on the lake. I spent 20 years in the US Navy and had plenty of opportunities to sample some of those unholy violent storms in the North Atlantic but it seems the November Witches are even worse. I love the way the divers documented the Daniel J. Morrell in such a serene, peaceful, and respectful way! God bless those from the Morrell who are now forever on watch and Fair winds and following seas to those they left behind.

Its incredible to think after she snapped in half the stern kept going under power for another 5 miles before she sank.

WOW! Nice work on video, those inside shots were amazing, the ships telegraph still looked great as well as the gauges, machinery  and workbench. all looked pretty clean considering it went down in 1966. The dishes still stacked in galley was quite an image too. Good musical background. Very nice work on this. tnx

Fantastic footage!!!   Wish we could get shots like that of the Fitz!

The visible gauges, porthole signs, made it feel like going back in time and being there-wow. Video music was cool!!

I know the cold waters of the lake help with preservation, but it's crazy to see first hand video showing just how intact the wreck's interior remains.

Unbelieveable footage. The visiblity was surprising good. I don't think I could dive this... I hate big, man made objects underwater.

Because of breathing problems I could never dive so seeing what you guys are doing really means a lot thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It's honestly amazing how people are able to dive down to shipwrecks and just look at them with no fear. In my opinion, looking at one just frightens me... A man-made object, just... destroyed. Abandoned. Left to rot. It takes a lot of courage to sail on the lakes, knowing that if you encounter a gale or storm, she may swallow you up and never take you back.

haunting video, especially seeing the fire extinguisher mounted as if it's anticipating another passage and the dishes stacked in the galley sure bring a chilling perspective to the wreck. thanks

This is one of the best dive films I’ve seen thanks for uploading

Chadburns of Liverpool. Made the steering dial. Absolutely wonderful film. Seeing the fire extinguisher, the dials and valves and other stuff in such good condition is amazing. Thanks for the video.

Wow!!!! What a great video! I understand it’s a grave site. Very moving. Very sad! I know the fitz is in deeper water but I think it would be awesome to document it exactly like this! As many as you can. Outstanding ! Rest in peace sailors!!!

One of the best wreck dive video on the net🙌🙌

Crazy how clean that repair/engine room looks. The label on that fire extinguisher is still bright white and looks like it went down yesterday.

Simply amazing dive footage. What a fascinating and fairly pristine wreck. Thank you for sharing this! ☮️☮️

Truly remarkable. The videography is professional grade. There’s nothing else I can add to the multitude of comments already made other than WOW!
