About Dunderburg

On August 8, 1868, the Dunderberg set sail from Chicago with a cargo of corn and six passengers. The 187 foot, three masted schooner had sailed the lakes for only 14 months when, on August 12, down bound to Detroit in lake Huron, the steamer Empire State brought about her untimely death. Under her sixty foot bowsprit, a figurehead gazes silently into the murky deep, this unique figurehead, combined with her ornate finish work, set the Dunderberg apart from the normal working class ship of the 1860's. Her story depicts a classic wreck, perfectly preserved in the cold depths of lake Huron.
