Born an raised on the Great Lakes of Michigan. I have been to every maritime museum and light house along Michigan's shores. I have read and bought many books regarding all of the ship wrecks. I still can't get enough. Thank you

[AmieESharaf]

I so appreciate the moment of silence for the captain and crew members lost and the salute. So beautiful - thank you!

I have studied about ocean shipwrecks since I was 8 but I never knew there were so many wrecks in the Great Lakes. I never realized how big the lakes were until I started watching specials about them and they basically called them mini oceans. Ever since then, I have become fascinated with these wrecks. And respect the lakes and their storms enough to know I never ever want to be caught on them when one of the autumn storms hits.

We live in Sturgeon Bay WI, Deaths Door, which is about 40 miles north of us in Gills Rock, is a popular area for shipwrecks.

Super! Enjoyed it completely. Being born and raised in Duluth and experiencing the lakes waves and cold first hand this reminded me of the " ocean like" weather.❤

[StandedInUtah]

I live a mile from Lake Michigan on the Michigan side. Some days the lake will be flat and smooth. Other days it is like the ocean with high waves rolling in.

The beach changes year to year. Winter storms are the landscapers. I don't mean little changes but a complete redistribution of the sand from North to South or the opposite. It's amazing to see such power!

I was 15 when the gales of November came. I’ll never forget that sad & horrible feeling, when I first heard about the loss of the Edmond Fitz.

I watched this remembering my dad, who was in the Coast Guard in the early 50s. He spent time in the North Atlantic and was involved in some scary sea rescues. We lived 30 minutes from Sheboygan, WI and he did some fishing on Lake Michigan. He always said that weather on that lake could get every bit as bad -or worse- than the ocean.

I grew up in Port Huron, MI. I love the maritime history of The Great Lakes.

[joannadee]

Thank you! Very interesting. I used to live in Racine County, WI. There are a lot of small planes in Lake Michigan also!

[Qrocket]

Big old boats is an excellent channel to watch if anybody loves this kind of stuff. Or maritime horrors.

[rebekahashe]

I enjoyed this documentary. I guess it's the unknown that is interesting and fascinating to me. The tragedies of shipwrecks is terrible of course, but the lengths explorers go to find and keep the remembrance of the lost ships alive is amazing, and I think a bit heroic.

If they were to recover that lumber down there you know how much that would be worth not to mention how beautiful it probably is

SUPERIOR IS SO COLD, MOST SHIPWRECKS DON'T HAVE ALGAE. I have vacationed many times in Grand Marais. Most vessels looking for a safe harbor went to Grand Marais. There used to be a Coast Guard Station there. That was the last stop for the Edmund Fitzgerald before it went down in Superior.

[DayzDev]

If they wanted the most accurate weather report, they should've had my great-grandmother. Her arthritis could predict storms very accurately.

[curtisackenbrack]

Good Lord what a horrible way to die. To still be alive in that ship while it sinks. I pray for every soul that was lost on that lake. May God accept them all into His bosom, & may they dwell in His Heavenly Kingdom forever. Amen

[JunkYardCardGuy]

The looks on the faces of the men who saw the Marvin's name was incredible.

[KathrynWebster-yu]

I have spent a lot of time on the shores of a Lake Superior camping with my kids and husband. For beauty, rockhounds, teaching your children science it cannot be beat,

[skeeterinnewjersey]

I've never heard a storm in the Great Lakes referred to as a "freak storm." Storms stir up there in a split second in November all the time.
