Port bow with name board. Name is illegible. |
The wreck lies intact in 325 feet of water nine, miles southeast of Port Washington (43° 15.546' N, 087° 43.643' W). The Tennie and Laura rests upright on the lakebed, sunk into the bottom nearly to her load line. At least one mast remains standing, rising to a depth of approximately 265 feet. The debris field off the starboard bow and beam is littered with a tangle of standing and running rigging.

Wire rope lays in large tangles in the silt, and a chain—an anchor chain or a bobstay—is visible on the bottom. Both the wire rope and chain exhibit varying amounts of corrosion with sporadic quagga mussel colonization. Laying on the lakebed near the chain is an iron-stock anchor.
