Description

PDF

This is a base 3D model of the shipwreck of the Steam Tug Grace Williams.  It requires a bit of work to make printable.   

The Grace Williams sank in Northeastern Lake Michigan in the Manitou passage near Leland, MI. 

The tug is small, about 50 ft long. It rests in 204 ft of water. 

The model was constructed using Metashape and was constructed 2550 images taken by Sony A1 and GoPro H11B on a single dive (16 minutes bottom time). The data and model are being provided to the GLSPS for inclusion in the database at 3Dshipwrecks.org

Metashape does not produce completely finished 3D models.  This model will require additional work to make printable.  Even so I am posting it here because:

1) It is a 3D model with historic interest
2)  It is cool.
3) It would be very cool if someone could post a printable remix!  I do not have enough bandwidth to complete on my own.

A short video of the wreck and model has been posted on Youtube.
