The Lake Michigan Triangle

The 'Bermuda Triangle of the Great Lakes' — a 3,800+ square mile zone stretching from Ludington to Benton Harbor, MI to Manitowoc, WI. Key disappearances include Le Griffon (1679, the first ship lost on the Great Lakes), the schooner Thomas Hume (1891, vanished with 7 crew — no wreckage), Captain Donner (1937, vanished from his locked cabin mid-voyage), and Northwest Airlines Flight 2501 (1950, 58 passengers lost — wreckage never fully recovered). Lake Michigan holds 26.5% of all Great Lakes shipwrecks.
