The MV Material Service was a steel-hulled American self-unloading, diesel-powered workbarge that sank with the loss of fifteen lives on Lake Michigan off the coast of North Township, Lake County, Indiana. On March 25, 2014 the wreck of the Material Service was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
