Nordmeer
was as a general cargo ship built by Flensburger Schiff
Gesellshaft in Germany , and was launched in 1954. She was
delivered to the German company Nordstern Rederei Gmbh the
same year. She ran aground in Lake Huron after a
navigational error 19.November 1966. What was
supposed to be an easy rescue operation turned sour when a
storm ravaged the seas a few days after. Her hull was
ripped open, and she was declared a total loss.
Salvage work was done on the wreck later and her cargo was
raised. The wreck rest today on a depth of 6 to 15 meter a
few miles north of Thunder Bay Island near Alpena.
