Featured Video The Thomas Hume
Scuba dive video of Andrew Tidy and Team Keelhauled diving the wreck of the Thomas Hume in Lake Michigan Chicago at a 150' of frigid water.
The Thomas Hume, which was operating in the lumber industry, transported lumber from Muskegon to Chicago. One day, the schooner went missing with six men aboard during a squall on Lake Michigan on May 21, 1891.
The three-masted schooner Thomas Hume was built in 1870 as the H. C. Albrecht by Joseph Hanson in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The vessel was named for her first owner, Captain Harry C. Albrecht who sailed the boat in the early 1870s. The Albrecht was 132 feet in length with a 26 foot beam. In 1876 she was sold to Captain Welch of Chicago, who sold her to Thomas Hume and Charles Hackley in Muskegon, Michigan a year later

I pretty much live in the water. As a Marine Mammal and Shark diver at the Shedd Aquarium, I am lucky enough to be on the dive team for aquarium conservation. As a certified Dive Master and Tec. Diver I spend my time exploring the majestic shipwrecks of The Great Lakes. Please see some video footage of these haunting wrecks.
