The Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River superimposed on a map of Europe

…OH.

I googled it once and the only reason why the Great Lakes aren’t called inland seas is because they are entirely freshwater, not salt.

By any other metric they’d be seas. Superior especially (the big one in the upper left) behaves like a small ocean, and has claimed at least 250 ships and over 1000 people. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a frankly chilling song about her that I’ll include here:

OOH and if you want to know more about the shipwrecks and bodies in the lakes, I recommend this video by Caitlin Doughty! She goes into detail the jurisdiction of the remains, what happens to them, some stories as well as a glance of a shallower (and non-lethal) wreck, with emphasis as to the sheer scale and strength of those waters
