    In 1909, the wooden-hulled lake freighter Adella Shores disappeared in a storm on Lake Superior. Lost without a trace, the small freighter was all but forgotten until shipwreck hunters stumbled across her wreck in the summer of 2021.

    The guy's coat being found sounds like a case of paradoxical undressing that happens in the last stages of hypothermia. Other symptoms are severely impaired cognition, hallucinations, and feeling extremely hot. He probably jumped in the water either to cool off or lured by a hallucination.

The Lake Huron Disasters Video (specifically at the start of the SS Kaliyuga section) and the Daniel J. Morel video to be specific.

I would like to inquire the name of said music so that I may add it to my Spotify music list.

    Anytime I hear about logging I remember pictures I saw from the 1800s. Where I live it's still considered rural but there are pics from the 1800s of loga so big they were shipped one per rail car. Tree trunks so large that after the tree was cut down they turned the stump into a house. An I'm not talking redwoods or something. These were regular pine trees. The US used to have some truly amazing forests.

    So many people hear “lake” and think calm waters and not very deep. The Great Lakes, honestly, should be called fresh water oceans. The Great Lakes have riptides, huge waves and some surprisingly deep. Even in the hottest of summers the Great Lakes are still surprisingly cold. Lake Michigan scares the crap out of me and don’t let my kids swim in it. Lake Huron and Superior are my favorites. I try to visit both every summer.
