Howdy!
Here's another Great Lakes ship that broke in half in a November storm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Carl_D._Bradley

My favourite part of the article, though, is from the "Legacy & memorial" section:

Wikipedia posted:

Of the 35 crewmen, 33 died in the sinking, and 23 were from Rogers City, Michigan, a town with one stoplight, which has since been removed without reason, and 3,873 residents.[77]

It's so good. I assume this is what happens when the angry retiree who won't stop writing letters to the local newspaper takes it upon himself to also be the town historian on Wikipedia.

Here's a neat story-in-progress: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/ping-beep-hum-sound-arctic-ocean-igloolik-1.3831861

There's a pinging sound emanating from the sea floor north of Igloolik, and it's interfering with Inuit hunters' routine. All the obvious suspects claim they have no gear in the water, so the Canadian navy say they're going to take a peek.
