Graveyard of the Great Lakes

For a distance west of Whitefish Bay, there are no natural harbors in which ships can "ride out" storms.

[5] Also, as late as the 20th century, weather prediction was "a haphazard process, very imprecise and unreliable.

After the St. Lawrence Seaway was constructed, all inter-lake traffic on Lake Superior went at least near Whitefish Point.

Due to the cold and fresh water, wrecks are often in quite good condition even after centuries underwater.

[5] A documentary has been made, about the Graveyard of the Great Lakes,[7] as had a piece on Apple TV.
