WISCONSIN — The world's largest collection of 1929 and 1930 Nash Motors automobiles exists not in a museum, but rather entombed in the frigid depths of Lake Michigan.

The cars, 268 of them, are lashed in rows inside and crumpled in a heap next to the wreck of the SS Senator, a Great Lakes steamship that rests for eternity in an uncharted sinkhole about 15 miles east of Port Washington, Wis.

A good read

For some odd reason I thought that it was a boatload of Model T's. Good story.

There's a B-52 laying in the bottom of Little Traverse Bay. From the totally useless information file I knew Phil Martin.

Not the great Lakes, actually only a man made lake. But the story of a 1917 Reo Apple Truck recovered some 45 years later.

Thanks Greg for the story....There is something about cars and other vehicles recovered from water, sand that intrigue me...maybe its a glimpse into seeing how our man made miracles will look 150-160 years down the line when our ancestors gaze upon them...

I think it was Nat Geographic that did a documentary on a B-17 recovered in Iceland or Greenland. They replaced the enhances and got it flyable. Taxiing for take off the APU caught fire. Burned to the ground. Sad.

When Glacier Girl came up her guns were still loaded and operational. They fired them!
