Ice Seals The Fate Of The Eber Ward In Ten Minutes
The Eber Ward, a wooden steamer, was built in 1888. In 1909, she struck an ice floe while passing through the Straits of Mackinaw and sank within 10 minutes taking 5 of her crew with her. Chuck and Jeri Feltner discovered the Ward in 1980. This program includes an interview of their discovery along with some original underwater footage. Tony Gramer revisited this shipwreck and re-filmed her in high resolution. Tony tragically passed away, so Jim and Pat Stayer volunteered to complete the project. Enjoy a tour of the wreck that lies 140 feet below the surface of Lake Michigan.
