No, just an ice water mansion.
The bottom of most deep lakes is at about 4C, the temperature at which water is densest. The Great Lakes don’t freeze to the bottom, and so the densest water falls while less-dense (colder and warmer) water rises. So I assume the Fitz has been at that temperature pretty much since she went down, and as said, it’s not a freezer.
But it is a fridge. . .
A few years ago,when I used to surf the web at work for 6 hours a day, I was checking out some sites about Big Fitz.
I came across some site that claimed they had conducted the “last dive ever allowed” (or some such claim) and “hinted” they had recovered or photographed some remains. However, you had to pony up some cash to access that part of the site, so thats all I got.
Yep. And I don’t know about your fridge, but I sure wouldn’t consider anything put in mine for 35 years to be “preserved”! :eek:
Yeras ago, a long time ex navy CPO told me that Lake Erie has the most dangerous storms-the lake is so shallow that the waves pile up-30’ waves are not uncommon.
Superior is much deeper, so I would expect the wave heights to be lower.
Ewwwwww!
That would not be the case. Waves on Lake Superior have been measured at over 30 feet, while the biggest waves on Erie (during a storm surge, or seiche) were measured at 22 feet.
Waves on a shallower lake may have more ‘chop’ or ‘curl’, and may come with higher frequency. But for size and power they generally won’t match waves in deeper bodies of water.
