Shows how much you know about the Great Lakes; if we were going to do
that sort of thing, we'd use antifreeze jugs for BC-building.  :-)

I'm not too proud to admit my BC is a made-in-Florida set of Dive-Rite
classic wings.

Seriously, though, there are a bunch of places on this planet with great
wrecks, and I for one (and the rest of you too) would love to visit them
all.  However, what's near home is easiest to get to, and it's because
it's the part of the world we call home that we're all arguing the merits
of our own particular local waters.

I was down inside the engine room of a big paddlewheeler yesterday
afternoon, and I was happy, and that's the main thing that counts.
