Great stuff, Jim. How about some info on the history, location, etc.

The Northerner was a two masted schooner of 80 feet in length that capsized in a gale in 1868. She sits upright on the bottom in 135 feet of water about five miles southeast of Port Washington Wisconsin. Although I've done a few brail dives on her over the years, the viz is generally good on this wreck. The deck is at 120 feet. The hold is still stuffed with her last cargo, which was cord wood. She also sports a ram's head figure head. This wreck makes for a short but very interesting dive.
