The Daily Mail had a really interesting article about a really interesting shipwreck dive, undertaken in Lake Superior. It was risky because of the depth of the wreck (270 feet) -- even with advanced diving technology, the expedition only had 25 minutes to photograph it.
The expedition was led by intrepid (I don't get very many chances to use that word) underwater photographer Becky Kagan Schott of Liquid Productions (good Web site to visit).
The reason for the title of this post is that the Daily Mail, as it does sometimes, gets the spelling wrong in the secondary headline. I wasn't sure; they also spell it wrong one time in the article. But it is the 'Gunilda', as is clear in this article with a lot of history about the ship and also deep-diving.
Here's the Daily Mail article:
The mini-Titanic: A ship's bell, table, chairs and even a piano revealed inside the incredible wreckage of a British ship preserved for 107 years hundreds of feet under Lake Superior
And here's a picture of the ship's bell, confirming that it's the Gunilda. Either spelling sounds Scottish, where the ship was built.
