Read "A Superior Death" by Nevada Barr and you'll get hooked on her. She writes mysteries around park ranger Anna Pigeon and each book takes place in a different National Park.

Lake Superior is my favorite great Lake. I live on Lake Michigan but visiting Superior was great! A must see.

On November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, an ore freighter, was sunk in Lake Superior. All 29 souls were lost that cold, stormy night.
Shortly after the sinking, Gordon Lightfoot wrote and sung the song labeled, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." A sad recount of what was the life and death of those brave sailors.

How does airborne transport pollute a lake?
Fan
Roy , nope it sank in Lake Superior off of Whitefish Point. There’s even a museum at Whitefish Point for her.

Duck1967, The ship's bell was recovered, and in a solemn ceremony with family in attendance, it was rung 29 times for each soul that was lost.

Mandy, a buddy and I camped on the shore of the lake over night, we had a 12pk of beer that we put in the water , in the morning the couple that were left were still ice cold

awesome sue, I swam in Lake Superior in late July when it was 90° and it was the coldest lake/water I've ever swam!
mel

CleanTeam845, if only 405 meters deep, that's not enough water to cover both north and south America one feet deep.
Augie
During winter, the waves create massive ice walls. 20ft.+

Three quadrillion gallons. enough to cover N and S America by one foot!
Lillian
WaldoLydeker, Her books are fabulous! Since each park has unique features they have very diverse plots.

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead.
Heidi
I was born in Hancock, MI right by Lake Superior.
From what I've read, you could fit all 4 of the other Great Lakes in Superior and still have room to spare, it's THAT deep!
Alexandra
Duck1967, He donated the royalties to the families of the fallen
Peg
Duck1967, searchers found the wreck quite a few years ago

Why is that? As the glaciers moved south and dug the Great Lakes, they melted, so was each successive lake dug a bit shallower? Isn't Superior northernmost?

It swallows ships and men, the most famous of which was made famous by Gordon Lightfoot and was called "The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." A beautiful, haunting song of the men who lost their lives and who are still buried at the bottom of Lake Superior.
Alexandra Kendall
Duck1967, Also he didn't make any money on the song. He donated all the royalties to the families of the crew.
Alexandra Kendall
Duck1967, And the royalties from that song went the crew's survivors.

I live on Lake Erie which is the shallowest.

Born and probably raised in Michigan. If you haven't visited this state, make a plan to explore it.

I swam in Whitefish Bay one summer. It is shallow enough that the water was fairly warm (by Superior standards, anyway).
