Thanks for posting that it was outstanding. I had heard about this documentary it but as I have the bare minimum for TV/Cable by choice I never saw it.
I was on the boat at the end called the Northwestern in 2013 for side scan sonar training at the college they mention. One of the scientists told me that the invasive mussel problem is so bad they estimate the entire contents of Lake Michigan is filtered through them every 8 days.
The wreck images of the Edmund Fitzgerald reminded me of a similar wreck off Gloucester, MA that cracked in half during a bad storm in the late 1970's-the tanker Chester Poling and a favorite of divers as it sits in only 90 feet of water.
A side scan sonar image is attached that I took in 2015. The massive cloud to the right is a school of fish. This part of the wreck is 200 feet long +-. Zoom in for a better look.
