There's a reason they say Lake Superior never gives up her dead. The largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, Lake Superior's cold and treacherous waters have claimed numerous lives. Here are three eerily similar stories of ships that vanished on Lake Superior: the SS Manistee, the SS Ira H. Owen, and the French minesweepers SS Inkerman, and SS Cerisoles.

@@PereMarquette1223 Hell yeah i’ll check it out i’m pretty big into maritime stuff well and just history stuff in general. And not for nothin but while there might be a SKELETON emphasis on SKELETON or parts of one at least here and there. There aren’t a bunch of bodies just sitting around in the ocean for several reasons. One being that water of and kind is a terrible environment for a human body to stay over time especially a dead one. And while cold water and darkness all this kind of thing can greatly slow down the rate of decomposition IT CAN NEVER COMPLETELY STOP IT. So with the passage of time and being subjected to underwater elements, currents, fish/marine organisms eating and moving the body. Then over let’s say 50-100 years there’s no bodies left other than maybe a bone here a bone there. Or maybe not because those may be covered in sediment js.

I have been on the shore of Superior. Unless you have been on it or stood right next to it. You just can't grasp how massive that body of water really is. I was in the USN and that is the only body of water that made my spine shiver. No other Ocean, Sea, Bay or river has bothered me. But that Lake actually scares me and I have no clue why.

@claudiadarling9441 11 месяцев назад

She's got a real "don't f*ck with me" vibe. The weather can change fast on all the lakes. Since they are smaller the period between the wave action in big storms tends to be shorter, so the 20/30ft waves hammer unrelenting. The landscape around Superior and many of the other lakes is just so raw too. Some of the rock right at the surface in the Minnesota Arrowhead is billion year old volcanic rock.

@superhawk3057 11 месяцев назад

I agree with ervery thing you said. I also was in the navy and have swam in superior in july with my lips turning blue.

@549RR 11 месяцев назад

Our family camp (cottage) is on the north shore, about half way between the Soo and Wawa. It generally takes until August for the lake to get really comfortable for swimming, but in the big sand bays, like Batchawana, it’s usually fine in July.

@thomasdahlquist7119 11 месяцев назад

Pilots that I recall seeing interviewed attribute the lake's danger to its relatively small size, resulting in wave reflection from the various shores that create what they called "confused waters". You can't always just point the bow into the swells and ride things out, since some other trouble might be coming at you broadside at any time.

@jimjimmyjam8242 10 месяцев назад

First time on lake Superior we took our ski boat out on an absolutely beautiful calm day. I anchored on a sand bar, closed my eyes for about an hour and woke up to 2-4 foot waves and heavy wind. The more time you spend up here you learn to never let your guard down. Lake Superior makes sure you won't forget that

If you ever do a follow-up video, I recommend looking into the Kamloops. It's a shipwreck with the body of a crew member still in it that is known to follow divers around the ship. The story of it is crazy and the last moments of the crew who made it ashore are tragic.

@norml.hugh-mann 8 месяцев назад

Everybody that made the calls to send out these ships are long dead. Nobody got forced to do anything, in the US workers can quit at any time or turn down any voyage they deem unsafe. These men Chose their fate by trusting the wrong captian or letting their need for money conquer their good sense. Its a tragedy sure, but its not like they were sent into battle under orders. Its just a job.. Ships are both much safer now, as well ad weather forecasting..but most importantly the companies have learned expensive lessons from their past and just dont put their expensive investments in jepordy anymore. The witch of November keeps the ports full nowdays

@foxymetroid 2 месяца назад

They learned their lesson. They learned they could make more money sending their ships out on "one last run" than by playing it safe. After all, the lives being lost were not the lives of the owners, but of people simply trying to put food on the table.

There is nothing more relaxing than a video by BOB, when lying back, propped on pillows, hot coffee on the bedside table, in the soft gray, hazy morning just as the birdies have ended their morning chorus. Great atmosphere...it might rain. I can see Lake Superior at the end of my road, a half mile away, if I go into the upstairs sitting room. I keep thinking, I ought to feel more unsettled over these sinkings. I know that I would do, if I were involved in one of these cold, wet, suffocating tragedies. Time and emotional distance from the unfortunates may have the effect of turning these histories into "stories". Our gracious presenter has a beautiful voice and perfect delivery. It's like...yes, this is terrible, but stay calm... Positive effect. It causes appreciation of the life one has.

Lake Superior is the scariest of our 5 Great Lakes imho

@Uncle_Fred 11 месяцев назад

I'd argue that in general, that's true. However, there a hidden secret terror in the Great Lakes. Most of the time, Lake Erie is unremarkable. However, there's something about it's east-west configuration that matches the prevailing storm winds, combined with its shallow waters. The lake can turn on a dime into a terrifying and unpredictable sloshing bathtub of murky brown waters. These events are short-lived, and only happen once or so a year, but I'd argue they are more chaotic feeling and thus scarier than Superior's storms.
