S.S. America Monitoring Project
June 27 - June 30, 2013

The S.S.America Monitoring Project was initiated because of it accelerated deterioration from a storm a couple of years ago.  The famous Isle Royale shipwreck has suffered extensive damage from this storm and is rapidly falling apart into a debris field located on the starboard side (right side) of the vessel.  We are going to be shooting video to determine what if anything can be done to further stabilize the famous Isle Royale Shipwreck.  Please check back later in the year on the results of the monitoring project.  We will need to edit many hours of video to present an accurate report.

To learn more about the project, please click on this link.  SS America Monitoring Project - 6/28/2013


This project requires special personnel and equipment  to perform the monitoring of the S.S. America.  We needed folks that owned their own video cameras and had taken the Introduction to Archeology classes we offered to the membership in the past.

Currently this project is completely filled up and space is no longer available.  However, if we have any cancelations, we could let interested people know.  Please register as a backup person if you are interested. 

We may have another S.S.America Monitoring Project next year so please check back next spring to register for the project if
interested.  Please contact project leader or co leader if you have any questions.  Their contact information is located in the "2013 Projects" Schedule.  Please click on the field located on the upper left side of the website.
