Ep. 91: The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum

Ep. 91: The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum Shipwrecks like the Edmund Fitzgerald have long captured our attention. Immortalized by Gordon Lightfoot's 1976 hit, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, has secured a place alongside other famous wrecks like the Titanic and Lusitania. But she represents only one of the estimated 6,000 sunken vessels in the five Great Lakes.  The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is dedicated to telling the history of the brave sailors and countless tons of cargo lost to the depths on the world's largest freshwater lakes. In this episode, we sit down with the museum's Executive Director Bruce Lynn to talk about some of the more famous wrecks and what makes the Great Lakes so dangerous.
