I'm from a part of the world where shipwrecks are a big deal. I grew up in Michigan, which is the state that looks like a big mitten.

If you're not super familiar with the geography of the United States, you might not know that we're basically surrounded by lakes, as if we decided that our state needed a bunch of moats. (You might also not know that Michigan has a top half, which is actually the better half! It's so pretty up there, and there's a lot more nature to enjoy.)

The lakes in this region are called The Great Lakes, and they touch eight states in the United States as well as Ontario in Canada.

The lakes comprise something like 84% of all of the surface freshwater in North America. They're huge, they're beautiful, and they're very important. But, they're also very dangerous.

I didn't know about any of this before I moved to Michigan, so my partner made me listen to "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" in its entirety and then told me a story about a drunk co-worker singing it in a barn.
