I wonder how freshwater preservation/decay compares to saltwater at the same latitude. I would guess the temp range at that depth runs from 34-56 winter-summer? The colder side of the temp range would favor preservation would it not?

I hope they look for the Edmund Fitzgerald yet. It would be interesting to see if the corpses have turned over in their graves after being immortalized by Gordon Lightfoot.

An old Navy guy in Milwaukee told me that the lakes were rougher than any ocean he'd ever been in. The size and depth combine to make semi-large waves that come at an astounding frequency. It can pummel the rivets right out of a vessel.
