Shipwrecks on the Great Lakes

Video Description

The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world, totaling some 95 thousand square miles. They are also among the most dangerous of all navigable waters, largely due to the powerful storms that frequently unleash their fury over these inland seas. SHIPWRECKS OF THE GREAT LAKES examines the forces that makes the lakes so deadly and tells the tragic stories of some of the most famous victims of nature's fury on these waters. Learn the true story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, a freighter which took 29 men with her to the depths, and whose fate was immortalized in a Gordon Lightfoot song. Meteorologists explain the phenomenon known as the "November Witch," which is responsible for many disasters, including a four-day stretch in November 1913 when 273 people perished. And hear from sailors who have been lucky to escape with their lives when the weather turns bad. Expert commentary, stunning footage and testimonials from survivors make it abundantly clear why more than 6,000 ships have slipped beneath the dangerous waters of the Great Lakes. I have Titanic, Olympic, Queen Mary, Ocean Liner, and other interesting Historical documentaries. It is a passion of mine to share the amazing Titanic story for the generations to come.
