The ''Meridian'' was a schooner that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast of Sister Bay, Wisconsin. In 1996, the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Weekly List of Actions Taken On Properties )〕
==History==
The ''Meridian'' was built in Ohio in 1848.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Service History )〕In 1849, it was reported by the Milwaukee Sentinel that the ship's second mate, James Bain, was killed aboard the vessel in an ensuing fight after he had attacked the captain and thrown the first mate overboard.
In October of 1873, the ''Meridian'' left Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was bound for Oconto, Wisconsin. She was carrying no cargo at the time and it is presumed that it was intended for her to pick up lumber in Oconto.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Voyage )〕 Along the way, the ship hit a violent storm that drove her off course. The vessel suffered extensive damage and eventually sank. Multiple attempts were made to recover the ''Meridian'', but were unsuccessful.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Voyage page 2 )〕
In 1991, the Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Program of the Wisconsin Historical Society began surveying the site. The remnants of the ''Meridian'' are owned by the State of Wisconsin and the site is managed by the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Today page 5 )〕
