Lake Erie

This has been a deadly decade when it comes to drownings on the Great Lakes.

So this has become a big problem for Ohio and some of Michigan as we border Lake Erie and this summer expect for this issue to be worse.

These are described as a rather unfamiliar phenomenon, but they have actually been happening often over the years.

Renk: I can just imagine what our already full courts would be hit with if...

Turtle Island in Lake Erie is a tiny acre-and-a-half of land that somehow became split between Michigan and Ohio.

At least 6,000 ships are documented to have gone missing on the Great Lakes since the late 1600s, although that number is likely much higher.
