water. Visibility ranges from 10 to 50 feet, and water temperature
in the summer varies from 40 to 60º Fahrenheit. The Hetty
Taylor offers an exceptional opportunity to explore
one of the many small coastal schooners that once connected
the communities of Lake Michigan. However,
due to the depth of the site, the dive is recommended for
advanced divers only.

The
Wisconsin
Historical Society , with assistance from the Wisconsin
Underwater Archaeology Association , installs a seasonal
mooring
buoy at the site. All boats stopping at the site should
moor to this buoy. The mooring prevents anchors from damaging
the wreck, and provides a solid and safe descent and ascent
line for divers.
