	Sanctuary News -Thunder Bay proposed sanctuary
		In the early 1970s, the Alpena, Michigan community began exploring the possibility of an underwater shipwreck park in the Thunder Bay region.
		An inventory of the region's underwater cultural resources, conducted by Michigan State University in 1975, suggested that the number of wrecks resting below warranted the establishment of an underwater "reserve." A local diving club supported this idea and, under state law, Thunder Bay was declared Michigan's first Great Lakes Bottomland Preserve in 1981.
		As in other sanctuaries, NOAA would provide federal funds that can be used in Thunder Bay for outreach activities, such as live video hook-ups in school classrooms that will allow children to watch researchers study shipwrecks, an interpretive "shipwreck trail," and other maritime heritage education programs.

		The signature of a brew pub is its brews, and Thunder Bay has five regulars -- low-cal, low-carb Great Lakes Light, the Pacific Northwest Motor Head IPA, English "session" brew Chainsaw Bitter, English brown Pewamo Porter, Czechoslovakian Petoskey Pilsner -- and a seasonal beer (currently the German-style wheat Hefe Weizen).
		Thunder Bay also serves wine, cocktails and frozen drinks, as well as non-alcoholic beverages and smoothies, including "our own superior Sarsaparilla (aka root beer)." The Sarsaparilla was decent, and my dining companion pronounced the Petoskey Pilsner very good, similar to a Labatt.

	About the Sanctuary/Preserve
		From 1836 through 1921, the Thunder Bay region was a major center of the lumber trade, shipping the products of local mills to markets all over the eastern U.S. and Canada aboard hundreds of sail, steam, and motor-driven craft.
		As nearby supplies were depleted, the harvesting activities moved inland along the Thunder Bay River and its tributaries, which served as the primary means of transporting the cut timber.
		As a result of the lumber activities in the Thunder Bay region, a number of the vessels wrecked in the vicinity were lost while engaged in the lumber trade.
