Fleetwing

Fleetwing, a nineteenth-century schooner wreck in Garrett Bay off Liberty Grove, Wisconsin, is an archaeological site in Lake Michigan and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Built in Manitowoc in 1867 by the company now known as Burger Boat Company and rebuilt in 1885, she sailed from Menominee for Chicago with a cargo of lumber on September 26, 1888. Near Porte des Morts, a gale drove the vessel onto a rocky beach late that night. Rescue efforts failed after a second gale forced away the assisting tug, leaving the schooner damaged beyond repair. The wreck now lies in shallow water.
