A popular way to explore some of the 100+ shipwrecks, in and near the bay, is by boat. In the warm months, glass bottom boat tours around the bay are available. A visit to the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center will open a whole new world of discovery. This is the only National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency, NOAA, location at a freshwater facility in the world.
One unusual exhibit is a full-size replica of a wooden Great Lakes schooner. Visitors can climb aboard and experience what a Great Lakes storm would feel like on the tossing deck. Those storms have caused the demise of many a ship.
