The Bullhead Point Historical and Archaeological District is located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.[2]

Description

The district includes the remains of three ships in shallow water. They are visible from the shore during periods of lower lake levels.[3] All hauled limestone for the Sturgeon Bay Stone Company at the ends of their lives and were burned in 1931. They are the 212-foot steamer Empire State built in 1862, the 134-foot centerboard schooner Oak Leaf, and the 168-foot schooner-barge Ida Corning.[4]
