    It's amazing to watch these ships in foul weather. I used to crew a 41 foot boat in the 80's on Lake Michigan. Got hit with a storm while racing the Chicago to Mackinac. We surfed 10 to 12 foot waves on the second day. When I look back, I was too young to be scared. Then you think of all the huge ships that go down with all crew lost and you realize just how violent storms can be on the Great Lakes. Thanks for sharing!

    I've noticed a lot of people asking about or commenting on the water color. The water is NOT dirty or polluted, it's a natural phenomenon
    "Lake Superior, at least the western arm of it, can turn color when heavy rains or strong winds launch red clay particles and other sediments into the water column.
    The southwestern shoreline of Lake Superior has large deposits of glacial-lacustrine red clay. The clay bluffs are especially prone to erosion, and the clay particles can float in Lake Superior for days to weeks. The fine red clay can be found from Duluth to the Apostle Islands.
    In the Duluth-Superior area, the Nemadji River is known for its clay-laden flow. Nearly all the sediment in the river is due to bluff erosion and slumping. Seventy-four percent of it ultimately ends up in Lake Superior. The Nemadji River alone deposits about 100,000 tons of silt and clay into Lake Superior a year - about 17 dump truck loads.
    Lake Superior can also turn a muddy red or brown when high winds create enough wave action to stir up bottom sediments. The St. Louis River and smaller tributaries to Lake Superior deliver many other brownish or tan soil particles that end up in the Harbor and the lake"

      I lived in the Marquette MI area for 17 years. Lake Superior is pristine around there. You can see rock formations 15 feet down. I walked around Presque Isle in waist deep water in canvas shoes and checked out the rocky shoreline and poked into little caves in the rock made from pounding waves. An awesome place.

If the structure was so rigid that it didn't bend, then the ship would not be able to withstand the forces and would snap like a twig. The same goes for aircraft, specifically the wing sections.

      Water is tea colored because it comes from vast north woods forest. For a ship harbor, the water is actually pretty clean. The lake itself is very clear and cold.

      Nah, it gets MUCH worse on the Lakes when the Witch fires up. That typically doesn't happen until November (this was taken in June). If you want to see crazy, that's the time of the year the cold water surfers come out, wearing their dry suits and braving the waves.

      Wind is amazingly powerful. There's actually a lot of mass in air, more than I expected. A cubic yard of air weighs a few pounds. Imagine how much force that pushes against something, when the wind is moving the air at 40+ MPH.
