Dreissena bugensis

Description: English: Anchor and port rail of the shipwreck of Kyle Spangler in Lake Huron, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Michigan, United States. Caption in source document: A 2008 photo shows the same anchor from a similar perspective. Many features are now obscured and have been since 2005. Quagga mussels completely cover the iron shank and flukes, as well as the iron anchor chain. Notably, the two small iron rings, presumably used as part of the apparatus to secure the anchor, are nearly undetectable. Date: 2008 (creation)February 2013 (publication).

Description: English: Winch aboard the shipwreck of Kyle Spangler in Lake Huron, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Michigan, United States. Caption in source document: A 2008 photo of the same winch…, covered with a thick layer of quagga mussels. The difficulty of archaeologically documenting the winch is dramatically apparent, as is the potential for decreased recreational value. Date: 2008 (creation) February 2013 (publication).

Description: English: Nameboard of the shipwreck of Kyle Spangler in Lake Huron, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Michigan, United States.
