"Those who have never seen Superior
     get an inadequate idea by hearing it spoken of as a lake. 
      Superior is a sea.
         It breeds storms and rain and fog like a sea.
           It is cold, masterful, and dreaded."

               Rev. George Grant, 1872

   Lake Superior is the world's largest freshwater lake -
 a huge, rock-bound lake that in winter is capable
 of piling ice high against the shore,
 and producing ocean sized currents and waves.

Waves as large as 31 feet have been recorded,
and Lake Superior is the grave of more than 325 ships.
