Editing Detroit River (section)

===Submerged objects===
Because of the booming businesses and long history of [[Metro Detroit]] and [[Windsor, Ontario]], the Detroit River has been the site of many artifacts, some lost with sunken ships and others abandoned, such as murder weapons or stolen bronze statues. A [[DMC DeLorean]] has also been recovered from the river.<ref>{{Cite web |url = https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/01/11/detroit-river-artifacts-ambassador-bridge/2545900002/ |title = Reports: Archaeologists find 30,000 artifacts along Detroit River |last = Siacon |first = Aleanna |website = Detroit Free Press |language = en |access-date = December 27, 2019 }}</ref> The artifacts recovered are well preserved due to the river's [[fresh water]] but low visibility makes them difficult to find.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url = https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2017/02/01/guns-cannons-cars-history-detroit-river/96833680/ |title = Detroit River's muddy bottom conceals cannons, cars, guns |last = Allen |first = Robert |website = Detroit Free Press |language = en |access-date = December 27, 2019 }}</ref>

A 1940s-era bronze statue depicting a classical nude woman was originally installed to overlook a reflecting pool in the [[Grosse Pointe War Memorial]]. It was nicknamed "The Nude," and, in 2001, was believed to have been successfully stolen for display in some art collector's private cache. During a police diving exercise near a submerged [[Jeep]], the statue was found in 2009, restored, and returned to the memorial.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |url = https://www.secondwavemedia.com/metromode/devnews/warmemorialstatue0116.aspx |title = Grosse Pointe War Memorial to restore, display recovered statue |date = May 14, 2009 |website = Metromode |language = en |access-date = December 27, 2019 }}</ref>

Anchors from the ''SS Greater Detroit,'' a luxury [[steamship]] that toured the Detroit River from 1924 to 1950, and the famed ''[[SS Edmund Fitzgerald]]'', a [[lake freighter]] that sank in a terrible 1975 storm, have notably both been recovered from the river. The 6,000-pound anchor of the ''SS Greater Detroit'' was raised in November 2016. It was installed at the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority Building. The lost anchor of the ''SS Edmund Fitzgerald'' was recovered during a July 1992 project, and the anchor was installed in the yard of the [[Dossin Great Lakes Museum]] on [[Belle Isle Park (Michigan)|Belle Isle]].<ref>{{Cite web |url = http://www.glmi.org/Default.htm |title = Great Lakes Maritime Institute |website = www.glmi.org |access-date = December 28, 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url = https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2016/11/15/greater-detroit-anchor-river-steamship/93876838/ |title = Historic anchor pulled from Detroit River |last = Allen |first = Robert |website = Detroit Free Press |language = en |access-date = December 28, 2019 }}</ref>

Since the 1980s, divers have recovered a total of six 1700s-era [[cannon]]s from the river. The last was found in 2011 near the [[Cobo Center]]. They are believed to have been part of the pre-[[War of 1812]] inventory kept by the [[British Armed Forces|British garrison]] in this area. Historians believe another three cannon may still be in the river. Inventory documents record a total of 17 cannons and 14 have been accounted for. It is believed that the British dragged the cannons onto the frozen river so they would sink with the spring thaw, and be kept from use by the American enemy. Another seven, larger cannons may have fallen off a [[barge]] closer to [[Amherstburg]], [[Ontario]], and may yet be found in the river.<ref name=":0" />
