The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead ...

I felt terrible about that and Gordon Lightfoot’s haunting song made it more so......but I stopped watching when they said she sunk in 1958.........ha that’s a far cry from 1975. RIP to those who perished......

The SS Carl D Bradley sank in 1958. It also broke in half.

33 men died.

About 100 people die on the Great Lakes every year. They are true fresh water seas not the tiny ponds that most people call "lakes". You treat them with respect or you die.
