There have been 6,000 shipwrecks in the great lakes, take that Bermuda triangle!

I still think Michigan and Huron are one giant lake.

They're all one lake if they're touching. The river between them is just an extension of the lake.

Take this statement as seriously as you wish to.

Wouldn’t that mean the lakes are all just an extension of the Atlantic Ocean? 🤔

They are. Georgian Bay too. Hence them occupying the same slot in the drawing.

Hydrologically Lake Michigan-Huron is one two-lobed lake. This is because the Straits of Mackinac is not a river.
