Madeira


There’s Heather, poised beside the bow of the Madeira — a ghost-ship from 1905 that once hauled ore and lumber, and now lies broken and majestic under the chilly blue of Lake Superior. Most divers dream of this bucket-list site; for me, it’s just another Monday morning underwater, though the locked gate and private parking lend it the faint air of a secret society devoted to rust and cold water.
