Summary
| Description |
English: Great Lakes fish tug, Oliver H Smith, lifting nets in a northeast gale near Death's Door (Port de Morts), Lake Michigan.
Port De Morts, also known as Death's Door, is the Cape Horn of the Great Lakes. It is legendary for the countless ships that are scattered across its bottom, the victims of its violent storms and relentless current. The area lies at the tip of the Door Peninsula of Wisconsin and like Cape Horn it divides two bodies of water. On its west side is the waters of Green Bay and to its east, Lake Michigan. The forces of both bodies collide in this narrow passage and have resulted in the deaths of many hundreds of mariners over the years. These merciless waters are avoided, even to this day, by the freighter captains on the shipping lanes. |
