Summary[edit]

Description

You're looking at the wreck of the schooner Kyle Spangler, which sank in 1860 in what is now Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. This shot from 2008 shows it as it looks today — almost completely encrusted with invasive quagga mussels. Zebra mussels may be the more famous Great Lakes invader, but quaggas present an equally serious threat to the sanctuary's shipwrecks and other submerged pieces of our nation's maritime history.
