520 feet down, in two pieces with the taconite cargo strewn on the
lake floor between them. Ten years ago, the bell was brought up, cleaned,
and is now in a memorial display at Whitefish Point. A replica bell was
cast from bronze, inscribed with the names of the captain and 28
crewmembers, and lowered to the ships deck. It is a permanent gravesight,
and will not be disturbed - by law - from henceforth.
