How did you come up with that story? The Great Lakes are five connected lakes in the South. One of them looks like a huge pimmel, dude. It looks like a huge pimmel. And the interesting thing is that 21% of the South, so it's a freshwater lake. How cute. And it's the biggest, probably, I think there's one lake, and that's the Baikal Lake. Baikal Lake. Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron

Between Canada and the USA. Between Canada and the USA. There are a lot of interesting stories about it, but the story that brought me to it is a song that I would like to put on the Fitty and Bumsy list at the end of this show. In 1975 an accident happened. The ship was called the Edmund Fitzgerald. It was considered the biggest ship on the seas. You have to imagine it that way.

These seas are oceans. Huge. Huge. Huge. And there was a big shipping traffic. And the Edward Fitzgerald, which was built in 1958, was the largest transporter ship of this time. Really an incredible ship that was built. And the pride of the ship was at that time and in the village of Superior. There is also the city of Superior, a small port city, which was in the time of economic growth.

It was very big, however, and in November 1975 the ship set sail to Detroit to transport a large load of iron ore. On the way there, there was a storm. In November, the storms are insanely wild and there is also a so-called process that it is so cold there. I can't describe it exactly because I'm not a meteorologist, but the winds are so strong that it starts snowing very quickly. It storms.

And in such a storm, the team with 29 people, the Edmund Fitzgerald, fell. It was still tried by another ship, after it had fallen out of the radar, to be launched at a safe harbor. So it was tried, it didn't work anymore, the contact broke off. And the ship sank with 29 people and was considered the greatest accident that happened on this part of the lake.

In addition, it must be said that since the sinking, 6,000 ships have sunk in these lakes and more than 30,000 people have sunk and have never been found again. There is this expression that the lake simply keeps the people in this place. I came up with it through a song. And this song was written by Gordon Lightfoot.
