J.D. Marshall Nature Preserve
Indiana Lake Michigan Shipwreck Survey Project
Shipwrecks in Lake Michigan - such as the Muskegon and the J.D. Marshall - are memorials to the Indiana's maritime history.
The Indiana Lake Michigan Shipwreck Survey Project from Indiana DNR's Lake Michigan Coastal Management Program updated previous research about these nautical resources, conducted archaeological surveys, and reviewed best practices to develop a management plan to focus on conservation and allow public use.
