Wade Childress < on 6/29/2010 6:37 PM >   Does anyone out there know anything about this old wreck? All google has turned up for me is a few pictures of her sinking. Is this a towboat? Has anyone been on board? Do old dry boats like this hold up well? She's on dry ground and I would assume the deck is draining pretty well when it rains. Any special precautions I should take when exploring her? Orangedrink  Gender: Male Phobiaphile  |  |  Re: The L. Wade Childress <Reply # 1 on 7/7/2010 6:08 AM >   I did turn up a little more info. I read that she was a towboat and she sank in 1985 after being torn up by some thick ice. I also (barely) got on board and shot some video. I was a little disappointed that there was so little left to see. Even the engines are gone. It was still a good adventure. After 25 years this boat is in amazing shape. I went in with a red light so some of this clip is tough to see. http://www.youtube...atch?v=sZFCZyPgD9A UER Forum > Archived US: Great Lakes > The L.
