It's weird how so many ships can sink in a lake.

The Great Lakes are conveyor belts for Midwestern commerce. But they can also be dangerous.

I find something particularly haunting about ship wrecks. It's almost as if the waters consume their victims and conceal their doom from the rest of the world. You have to dive to find the wreckage. Creepy.

The wrecks are well preserved down there too although there is supposed to be some kind of fresh water mussel that is causing trouble.
