The Chester A. Congdon Today
The wreckage of the Congdon sits in 50–200 feet of water, with the bow section on the south side of the reef and the stern on the north side. The stern section is in considerably deeper water than the bow, and represents a more technical dive. The bow section of the Congdon sank upright, and the pilot house on the bow is still intact, a relatively rare occurrence. Many of the ship's furnishings were salvaged while the ship was still on the reef. Approximately 160 dives were made to the Congdon in 2009 out of 1062 dives made to wrecks in the Isle Royale National Park.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone; You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
