>> I believe I saw a figure somewhere that estimated about 6,500 shipwrecks for all of the Great Lakes so over 2,000 might not be totally off the wall for Superior. For a figure of over 20,000 I think you would need to include every row boat and birch bark canoe that ever sank! >> The Shipwreck museum site says 6,000 for all the Great Lakes, but that figure is obviously rounded off. One of the wrecks was a steamer my great-great-grandfather intended to board on his migration west to Minnesota. However, it failed to stop, which caused him to write a few choice words in his diary. :-) Chuck Holst *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jan 26 2000 - 12:17:41 PST
