Your Contribution Preserves History
The Mission of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society is to:
Preserve lights and stations which warned mariners of the dangers inherent, Honor those who were aboard and who bravely attempted rescue and Discover, document and interpret vessels which instead took the deep.
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society is a 501 c (3) charitable organization as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. This means, that subject to current tax laws, contributions to the Shipwreck Society are tax-deductible. It is recommended that donors check with their own accountants or financial planners prior to making a charitable donation.
The Shipwreck Society will accept cash donations and provide an official receipt to the donor upon request. Donations may be made in memory of someone or to honor someone, with an accompanying letter of acknowledgement.
In 2025, there are essentially three major areas we are asking for support at this time:
- Construction of the 2nd Assistant Keepers Building
- Human Use/Natural Resource Management Plan
- Operations Support/Memorial Donations
If you are interested in making a donation for an amount not listed, please call the
