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:
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
