Abstract

The Great Lakes hold 95 percent of North America's surface fresh water and are the resting place of 6,000 vessels and over 30,000 souls. The article explores the history and stories of the ghost ships that lie beneath the lakes' depths. It delves into the experiences of submariners during World War II, the restoration efforts of the USS Cobia and USS Silversides, and the haunting presence of these ships. The article also mentions the SS Badger, a coal-fired car ferry, and the USS Mackinaw, a Coast Guard icebreaker. The author reflects on the significance of these historical artifacts and the stories they hold. [Extracted from the article]
