Is Beaver Island the one with the wreck of the "Francisco Morazon"
freighter that ran aground in the 60's, or is it one of the Manitou's?

I flew up to Superior this weekend from Madison to run Grandma's
Marathon and toured the "William Irvin" ore boat and the USCGC Sundew,
and the whaleback freighter S.S. Meteor. Fascinating stuff, this Great
Lakes maritime history. Flying home I flew across the SW corner of Lake
Superior. It was calm, beautiful, a freighter or two at anchor outside
the Duluth breakwaters, hard to imagine the fury of the lakes in a
storm!!!

That wreck is on the south shore of South Manitou as I remember
