Michigan students explore 4 Lake Huron shipwrecks

The underwater robotics team at Stockbridge High School, which has been making yearly visits to the South Pacific to find WWII relics, recently had an adventure much closer to home.

Stockbridge is located in Ingham County, about 36 miles from downtown Lansing.

The students recently used their remotely operated vehicle to explore four shipwrecks in the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, near Alpena.

They videotaped their mission, which can be seen at at this link.

Since 2011 Stockbridge High students have been visiting the island-nation of Palau, the site of a fierce World War II battle between American and Japanese forces in 1944.

The robotics team has gained considerable attention and has been featured on a segment of "60 Minutes."
