5 Ships that Mysteriously Vanished on the Great Lakes
It’s often said that the Great Lakes of North America resemble inland seas. They are the largest group of lakes in the world by area and they contain 21% of the earth’s surface fresh water. They provide a vital link between rich natural resources and centers of industry, making them a key driver of economic growth in both the United States and Canada.
Their size, economic importance, and terrifying unpredictability have also made them some of the deadliest waterways in the world. From giant, state-of-the-art freighters, to modest cargo ships said to haunt the lakes to this day, here are the stories of 5 ships that vanished on the Great Lakes.
