From what I've read, there are many many shipwrecks on the Great Lakes. Lake Superior is supposed to be extremely brutal.
I've read that some entrepreneurs are salvaging the timber for old shipwrecks on the Great Lakes because the wood is of extremely high quality.

Yes, there are lots of shipwrecks on Lake Superior. But the vast majority of them date back decades before the 1975 sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
A loss like that — in the age of radio communications, radar, and modern U.S. Coast Guard rescue assets — was a total surprise to the shipping industry.
