The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is located in Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is on the northeastern portion of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, on Whitefish Point which forms the northern end of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior. It is operated by a nonprofit organization, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society.
