Not living near a Great Lake (I've waded in Lake Michigan, years ago), I had no idea how many shipwrecks there were, and presumably still are, until I read the article.

My biggest disappointment was when I was coming home from Stratford last weekend I could have sworn I saw a replica of the Edmund Fitzgerald outside someone's house and when I went to find it this weekend it was gone.

I'm intrigued at the possibility of it having been a Halloween decoration. Definitely a horror story of sorts.
