5 Ships that Mysteriously Vanished on the Great Lakes | Fall Asleep To | Wreck Atlas

Описание: The Great Lakes are more than just bodies of water; they are inland graveyards holding over 6,000 shipwrecks and 30,000 souls. Tonight, we journey into the cold, deep silence of the North to uncover five stories of vessels that vanished into thin air. From the "Flying Dutchman" of Lake Superior to the haunting cries of the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, these are the mysteries that the lakes refuse to give up.

In this long-form documentary, we explore:
The W.H. Gilcher: Why did the bodies appear, but the ship remained a ghost?
The SS Clifton: A unique "Whaleback" design that became its own executioner.
Marquette & Bessemer No. 2: A tragic witness to a storm where help was only a whistle away.
The D.M. Clemson: The floating clues that told a story of a desperate final struggle.
The SS Bannockburn: 122 years of absolute silence. No wreckage, no answers.

Settle in, turn down the lights, and let the stories of the "Inland Seas" take you back in time. If you find peace in the history of the deep, consider subscribing to Wreck Atlas for more maritime mysteries.
