Humans have been navigating open water for almost 50,000 years, but nowhere on Earth approaches what these 5 have done in less than 1% of that time.

That’s crazy I’m from Michigan but never heard of that before
“And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”
Tell me more about these freshwater physics.
To counter freshwater physic just drop a shitton of salt in it. Easy peasy.
Also keep in mind that Superior is comparable in size to the island of Ireland which means that your thought process needs to be closer to that for a sea than that for a lake.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
I somehow suspect the med alone has had more shipwrecks, given its been traversed for about 10,000 years.
The National weather service was created largely because of how many storms were sinking ships on the Great Lakes.
I once crossed a Great Lake and it was a bit scary. 45 mph winds and 10 foot waves.
It’s hard for people who have never lived around the Great Lakes to appreciate just how absolutely enormous and dangerous they can be. Even the term “lake” is a bit of a misnomer, because they make other lakes look like ponds in terms of size and volume.
They’re more like fresh water seas.
Yes,,,, “Superior, it’s said, never gives up her dead when the games of November come early.”
