Anyone with an Internet connection can now take a tour of four of Lake Michigan's spooky, aging shipwrecks on a new website.
IndianaShipwrecks.org, created by Indiana's Department of Natural Resources, has 3D views of four shipwrecks, including the J.D. Marshall, which sank in 1911, and the Muskegon, which caught fire and sank in 1910.
The creators used sonar scans to recreate the detailed images of the long-submerged ships, which all sit at the bottom of Lake Michigan off the coast of Indiana. The site has a trove of digital recreations and images of the actual sunken ships.
