CEDARVILLE Shipwreck
Length: 588' Beam: 60' Depth:
40' - 107'
Type: Steel Steam Freighter Lost: May
7, 1965
Built: 1927, River Rouge, Michigan; converted
to self-unloader 1956-57; modified 1961
(reboilered and new stack)
Location:
Lake Huron, 3 miles east of Mackinac Bridge
Description:
How lost: This modern shipwreck is the result
of controversial conduct by two ships.
Carrying a cargo of limestone, the Cedarville
was westbound when she ran into very heavy
fog. The Cedarville continued moving relying
on her radar and radio contact. The M.V.
Topdalsfjord did not respond by radio
resulting in confusion by the Cedarville
officers. When the ships were near collision,
the Cedarville attempted an emergency turn
but was struck hard port amidships. She sank
quickly, settling in two parts at
approximately a 45-degree angle. The
Cedarville was found at fault. Eight lives
were lost.
She was heavily salvaged because of her close
proximity to the surface. Today, her cargo of
limestone lies spilled on the lake floor
alongside her unloader.
Present condition:
The Cedarville is in very good condition.
While much of her ship stores and gear have
been removed, she still has much to explore.
Her cargo holds are very large, the
pilothouse is easily accessible, the forward
and stern crew quarters are intact, and her
engine room is accessible.
