[anecdotally, I have experienced this scuba diving in a drysuit in WA and BC, especially in freshwater, so it is wonderful to see some background]

"The massive freighters that ply the Great Lakes are back at work following the early reopening of the Soo Locks for the 2025-26 season, and they're doing it all under the watchful eyes of webcams that track them from Minnesota to New York."

Quisiera infundir ánimo. Yo creo que ahora está muy claro, y todo el que lea esto ya sabe lo que hay. Entonces, vamos a seguir transmitiendo este mensaje, con la esperanza de que se vayan decidiendo a reenviar. No me creo que la Humanidad se suicide sabiendo esto.

Trump's tariffs targeting geriatric shipping vessels of Chinese origin will fail to punish China, as intended. Tariffs will, however, raise prices for consumers in both Canada and the US. “It's devastating for the whole integrated North American supply chain. That's the point we made when we were (recently) in Washington,” said Chamber of Marine Commerce president and chief executive Bruce Burrows. #greatlakes #canada #us #trump #tariffs #economy wellandtribune.ca/business/nia

I heard the news on TV and read the newspapers when it happened.

Pictures I took myself of the ruined lifeboat (found empty) on display at the Valley Camp Museum in Sault Ste Marie, the actual ship's bell from the Fitzgerald at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point.

The Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle here in Detroit has preserved the wheelhouse of the William Clay Ford which (with the Arthur Anderson) was sent out to look for the Fitzgerald while it was still storming. Feels a bit weird to stand in it and think about that night.

I've also attended a memorial service for the Fitz at Old Mariners Church in Detroit and read a couple of books on the subject. Oh yeah, I have the original Gordon Lightfoot album (on vinyl, no less) that contained the song.
