And popular media grabbed the story. Fame for shipwrecks is hugely dependent on that - if it’s going to live past its time.

Gordon Lightfoot ensured that people a hundred years from now will know the Edmund Fitzgerald but the thousands of other wrecks in those lakes will be known to locals and researchers only.

I understand 30,000 have died on the Great Lakes as a result of shipwrecks.
