Dundee
LOCATION: Western Lake Erie off Cleveland, Ohio, USA
LIES: Upright on mud bottom. 
CONDITION: Mostly Intact, broken at stern.
DEPTH: 75' [23m]
TYPE: Schooner-barge (originally 3-mast)
BUILT: 1893 at West Bay City, MI, USA.
LOST: Floundered in a storm September 11, 1900 prior to being cut loose by the steamer John N. Glidden.
CARGO: Iron-ore
DIMENSIONS: 211' [64m] Length x 35' [11m] beam x 16'-5" [5m] .
NOTES:
· Site is currently being surveyed by the Maritime Archeological Survey Team, MAST . Mooring is secured to the Deck Winch approximately mid-ships.· Light zebra mussel infestation. · Deck planking is mostly intact and sits approximately 10 ft [3m] off of the bottom. · At the bow, a large donkey boiler, steam winch, and chain sits a top the jagged pile of collapsed decking. The anchor chain runs through the hawse pipe and over the starboard side, hanging, empty, just shy of the bottom -- anchors apparently salvaged. A large stem post extends well above the decking. · Moving aft, 6 Cargo hatches exist, all offer easy access to the hold.  The deck is littered with numerous artifacts such as turnbuckles, blocks, knees, planking...etc. · Just aft of the aft mast, the stern is mostly collapsed/broken. The rudder post remains upright here. Overall an exposed, large, intact schooner in excellent condition, especially considering her shallow depth and location just off of Cleveland. A must see!

A very rough sketch of the Dundee.
