Laying upright at 82m below the surface in the chilly waters of Lake Superior, it’s difficult to believe that the Gunilda, a luxury steam yacht built in Scotland in 1897 has been on the bottom for 113 years! Described by the Cousteau Society in 1980 as “the best-preserved, most prestigious shipwreck in the world”, with gold leaf and intricate scrollwork still visible on the bowsprit, we can truly appreciate how she earned this title! #submarine #submersible #wreck #lakesuperior #vikingexpeditions #vikingcruises #uboatworx #subpilot
Superb photos, I've always been amazed at the shots Becky Kagan Schott has taken of Gunilda.
