Video I found that I mixed of a RallyX in WI back in 2002. This was heald by the WAG group out of Milwaukee. The rally X was held down off the side of Greatlakes Dragway. I was down there as part of the MWSOC Subaru owners group and came up wiht a camera mount that locked onto the headrest of any Subaru Impreza passengers seat. So I passed it around an edited the results.

The Great Lakes Surface Environmental Analysis (GLSEA) is a digital map of the Great Lakes surface water temperature and ice cover which is produced daily at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory - GLERL - http://www.glerl.noaa.gov through the NOAA CoastWatch program - http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov
The lake surface temperatures are derived from NOAA polar-orbiting satellite imagery obtained through the Great Lakes CoastWatch program. The addition of ice cover information was implemented in early 1999, using data provided by the National Ice Center (NIC). Lake surface temperatures are updated daily with information from the cloud-free portions of the previous day's satellite imagery. If no imagery is available, a smoothing algorithm is applied to the previous day's map. Ice information will then be added, using the most recent Great Lakes Ice Analysis produced by NIC, nominally twice per week during the ice season.

The Great Lakes are today used as a major water transport corridor for bulk goods. The Great Lakes Waterway connects all the lakes; the smaller Saint Lawrence Seaway connects the lakes to the Atlantic oceans. Some lake freighters are too large to use the Seaway, and only operate on the Waterway and lakes.
In 2002, 162 million net tons of dry bulk cargo were moved on the Lakes. This was, in order of volume: iron ore, grain and potash. The iron ore and much of the stone and coal are used in the steel industry. There is also some shipping of liquid and containerized cargo but most container ships cannot pass the locks on the Saint Lawrence Seaway because the ships are too wide. The total amount of shipping on the lakes has been on a downward trend for several years.

History
Construction on the first light began in 1847, and the lighthouse was said to resemble that at Old Presque Isle Light.
First lit in 1849, it was one of the first lighthouses on the shores of Lake Superior and is also the oldest active light on the lake. The original structure was outfitted with Lewis lamps, which were thereafter upgraded to a Fourth Order Fresnel lens.
The current structure, while modern looking, is a Civil War relic. Built in 1861, the iron skeletal steel framework was designed to relieve stress caused by high winds. A similar design is used at Manitou Island light in Lake Superior. It was equipped with a Third Order Fresnel lens.
The DCB-224 Carlisle & Finch aerobeacon in operation at Whitefish Point on November 3, 2007.
The light-emitting diode lantern installed at Whitefish Point in August 2011.
In 1968, the light was replaced with a DCB-224 aero beacon manufactured by the Carlisle & Finch Company. According to Volume 7 of the U.S. Coast Guard light list, it was visible for a distance of 26 nautical miles (48 km) in clear weather conditions, and had two unevenly spaced eclipses, and two flashes within every 20 second period. Putting aside questions of nostalgia, aesthetics, or appreciation for the engineering of a bygone era (as exemplified by the Fresnel lens), this iteration of lighthouse illumination was itself incredibly effective, and an endangered remnant of another bygone era.
The station was automated in 1971.
In 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners reported reduced intensity of the Whitefish Point light from June 7, 2011 until August 16, 2011 when the DCB-224 Series Carlisle & Finch aerobeacon lens was changed to a light-emitting diode (LED) lantern with a reduced range of 15 nautical miles (28 km) as permitted by Coast Guard rules and regulations adopted in 2003 for private aids to navigation. The aerobeacon lens is stored in a building on the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum complex for possible future public display.
The lighthouse is home to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, which has many shipwreck artifacts, including artifacts from shipwrecks in the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve and the SS Edmund Fitzgerald's bell which was recovered from the wreck in 1995. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is open for during the tourist season from 10 am to 6 pm, every day through October 31. The organization that operates the museum got 80.079% of its funding from the public in the year 2010.
The light is considered to iconic, and has been the subject of memorabilia. An official Michigan Historical Marker was erected in 1974. It is Registered Site L0272. The marker notes:
This light, the oldest on Lake Superior, began operating in 1849, though the present tower was constructed later. An early stopping place for Indians, Voyageurs, Coureur des bois and Jesuit missionaries, the point marks the course change for ore boats and other ships navigating this treacherous coastline to and from St. Mary's Canal. Since 1971 the light, fog signal, and radio beacon have been automated and controlled from Sault Ste. Marie.
The keepers were: 1848--1851: James B. Van Renselaer 1851--1853: Amos Stiles 1853--1856: William C. Crampton 1856--1859: Belloni McGulpin 1859--1861: Charles Garland 1861--1864: Joseph Kemp 1864--1868: Thomas Stafford 1868--1874: Edward Ashman 1874--1882: Charles J. Linke 1882--1883: Edward Chambers 1883--1903: Charles Kimball 1903--1931: Robert Carlson
Whitefish Point is on the Lake Superior coastline known as the "Graveyard of the Great Lakes". The numerous shipwrecks of Whitefish Bay—including those of the Comet, John B. Cowle, Drake, Samuel Mather, Miztec, Myron, Niagara, John M. Osborn, Sagamore, Superior City, and Vienna—are protected for future generations of sports divers by the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve.
The site is a venue for remembrance of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, and extending back to the loss in 1816 of "the very first ship known to sail on Superior, the sixty-foot trading vessel Invincible," which upended in gale force winds and towering waves near there. "Every loss was tragic."
There are critics that claim that the stewardship of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society over this lighthouse caused it to be "overdeveloped." Michigan Audubon Society filed a lawsuit that accused the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society of overdeveloping Whitefish Point and United States Fish & Wildlife Service of not protecting the site.The lawsuit was settled in 2002 when the parties agreed to govern the site with a management plan.

This item comes from Walton & Grimm's _Windjammers: Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors_ (2002). According to that source, the chantey pertained to the African-American laborers on steamships of the Ward Line. The vessels were primarily engaged in loading up copper from mines in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Lake Superior) for transport down to the big cities of the Lake Erie area like Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo.
The men were charged with loading and unloading the copper using handtrucks or wheelbarrows—three days straight of near continuous labor.
The chantey was also sung by men who loaded up tugs with coal and wood in other ports. Like many chanteys, the noted verses of this one tend to "growl" about extreme work and substandard conditions.
The "tub of suds" evidently referred to a mixture of watered down liquor and chili pepper, designed to hype up the workers.
The song was remembered by several Ward Line officers (ca1930s), whose verses formed the compilation found in Walton & Grimm's book.
I selected from various verses and threw in some others.

Songs of the Great Lakes by Ivan H. Walton and John W. Green
This is a great book and cd for any maritime history enthusiast.
Songquest: The Journals of Great Lakes Folklorist Ivan H. Walton
by Ivan H. Walton and Joe Grimm
Wayne State University Press, 2005
Paper: 978-0-8143-3234-4
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Ivan H. Walton was a pioneering folklorist who collected the songs and stories of aging sailors living along the shores of the Great Lakes in the 1930s. His collection is unique in the annals of Great Lakes folklore. It began as a search for songs but broadened into a collection of weather signs, shipboard beliefs, greenhorn tales, and stories of the intense rivalry between sailors and the steamboat men who replaced them. Edited by Joe Grimm, Songquest: The Journals of Great Lakes Folklorist Ivan H. Walton is a selection from the daily journals Walton wrote during his travels as a folklore collector.
It is clear that Walton, a professor of English at the University of Michigan, both admired the sailors of the Great Lakes for what they had done during their working years and worried about them as they entered the twilight of their lives. Walton went beyond the songs he set out to find and captured the pitch and roll of the Great Lakes alive with white-winged schooners. His writings provide a clear picture of the colorful individuals he met and interviewed--captains, cabin boys, tugmen, chandlers, boardinghouse owners, dredgers, and light keepers. Walton also documented the methods he used and recorded his personal thoughts about his nomadic life and the events going on around him during the 1930s, including the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt's election, and the end of Prohibition.
Songquest is a companion volume to Windjammers: Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors (Wayne State University Press, 2002), which contains the lyrics from more than a hundred of Walton's collected songs, as well as musical scores, sketches, and a compact disc of field recordings.
White-winged schooners once dominated commerce and culture on the Great Lakes, and songs relieved the hours on board, but that way of life and its music ended when steam-driven mechanical boats swept schooners from the inland seas. Recognizing in the late 1930s, almost too late, that this rich oral tradition was going to the grave along with the last generation of schoonermen, Ivan H. Walton undertook a quest to save the songs of the Great Lakes sailors. Racing time and its ravages, he searched out ancient mariners in lakefront hospitals, hangouts, and watering holes. Walton reconstructed songs from one of the most colorful periods in American history, discovering melodies and lyrics to more than a hundred songs. With its stories, lyrics, musical scores by folksinger/historian Lee Murdock, and accompanying CD, Windjammers ensures that sailing chanteys that have not been heard for over one hundred years can be heard again and again far into the future.

White-winged schooners once dominated commerce and culture on the Great Lakes, and songs relieved the hours on board, but that way of life and its music ended when steam-driven mechanical boats swept schooners from the inland seas. Recognizing in the late 1930s, almost too late, that this rich oral tradition was going to the grave along with the last generation of schoonermen, Ivan H. Walton undertook a quest to save the songs of the Great Lakes sailors. Racing time and its ravages, he searched out ancient mariners in lakefront hospitals, hangouts, and watering holes. Walton reconstructed songs from one of the most colorful periods in American history, discovering melodies and lyrics to more than a hundred songs. With its stories, lyrics, musical scores by folksinger/historian Lee Murdock, and accompanying CD, Windjammers ensures that sailing chanteys that have not been heard for over one hundred years can be heard again and again far into the future. http://wsupress.wayne.edu/books/detail/windjammers Video footage originally posted by British Pathé Windjammer shots, location of events unknown C/U log book.

Great Lakes Ships documentary
The Great Lakes are today used as a major water transport corridor for bulk goods. The Great Lakes Waterway connects all the lakes; the smaller Saint Lawrence Seaway connects the lakes to the Atlantic oceans. Some lake freighters are too large to use the Seaway, and only operate on the Waterway and lakes. In 2002, 162 million net tons of dry bulk cargo were moved on the Lakes. This was, in order of volume: iron ore, grain and potash. The iron ore and much of the stone and coal are used in the steel industry. There is also some shipping of liquid and containerized cargo but most container ships cannot pass the locks on the Saint Lawrence Seaway because the ships are too wide. The total amount of shipping on the lakes has been on a downward trend for several years. -

The Ward Line (Great Lakes CHANTEY)
This item comes from Walton & Grimm's _Windjammers: Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors_ (2002). According to that source, the chantey pertained to the African-American laborers on steamships of the Ward Line. The vessels were primarily engaged in loading up copper from mines in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Lake Superior) for transport down to the big cities of the Lake Erie area like Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo. The men were charged with loading and unloading the copper using handtrucks or wheelbarrows—three days straight of near continuous labor. The chantey was also sung by men who loaded up tugs with coal and wood in other ports. Like many chanteys, the noted verses of this one tend to "growl" about extreme work and substandard conditions. The "tub of suds" evidently referre... -

Walton was a pioneering folklorist who collected the songs and stories of aging sailors living along the shores of the Great Lakes in the 1930s. His collection is unique in the annals of Great Lakes folklore. It began as a search for songs but broadened into a collection of weather signs, shipboard beliefs, greenhorn tales, and stories of the intense rivalry between sailors and the steamboat men who replaced them.

History
Construction on the first light began in 1847, and the lighthouse was said to resemble that at Old Presque Isle Light.
First lit in 1849, it was one of the first lighthouses on the shores of Lake Superior and is also the oldest active light on the lake. The original structure was outfitted with Lewis lamps, which were thereafter upgraded to a Fourth Order Fresnel lens.
The current structure, while modern looking, is a Civil War relic. Built in 1861, the iron skeletal steel framework was designed to relieve stress caused by high winds. A similar design is used at Manitou Island light in Lake Superior. It was equipped with a Third Order Fresnel lens.
The DCB-224 Carlisle & Finch aerobeacon in operation at Whitefish Point on November 3, 2007.
The light-emitting diode lantern installed at Whitefish Point in August 2011.
In 1968, the light was replaced with a DCB-224 aero beacon manufactured by the Carlisle & Finch Company. According to Volume 7 of the U.S. Coast Guard light list, it was visible for a distance of 26 nautical miles (48 km) in clear weather conditions, and had two unevenly spaced eclipses, and two flashes within every 20 second period. Putting aside questions of nostalgia, aesthetics, or appreciation for the engineering of a bygone era (as exemplified by the Fresnel lens), this iteration of lighthouse illumination was itself incredibly effective, and an endangered remnant of another bygone era.
The station was automated in 1971.
In 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners reported reduced intensity of the Whitefish Point light from June 7, 2011 until August 16, 2011 when the DCB-224 Series Carlisle & Finch aerobeacon lens was changed to a light-emitting diode (LED) lantern with a reduced range of 15 nautical miles (28 km) as permitted by Coast Guard rules and regulations adopted in 2003 for private aids to navigation. The aerobeacon lens is stored in a building on the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum complex for possible future public display.
The lighthouse is home to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, which has many shipwreck artifacts, including artifacts from shipwrecks in the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve and the SS Edmund Fitzgerald's bell which was recovered from the wreck in 1995. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is open for during the tourist season from 10 am to 6 pm, every day through October 31. The organization that operates the museum got 80.079% of its funding from the public in the year 2010.
The light is considered to iconic, and has been the subject of memorabilia. An official Michigan Historical Marker was erected in 1974. It is Registered Site L0272. The marker notes:
This light, the oldest on Lake Superior, began operating in 1849, though the present tower was constructed later. An early stopping place for Indians, Voyageurs, Coureur des bois and Jesuit missionaries, the point marks the course change for ore boats and other ships navigating this treacherous coastline to and from St. Mary's Canal. Since 1971 the light, fog signal, and radio beacon have been automated and controlled from Sault Ste. Marie.
The keepers were: 1848--1851: James B. Van Renselaer 1851--1853: Amos Stiles 1853--1856: William C. Crampton 1856--1859: Belloni McGulpin 1859--1861: Charles Garland 1861--1864: Joseph Kemp 1864--1868: Thomas Stafford 1868--1874: Edward Ashman 1874--1882: Charles J. Linke 1882--1883: Edward Chambers 1883--1903: Charles Kimball 1903--1931: Robert Carlson
Whitefish Point is on the Lake Superior coastline known as the "Graveyard of the Great Lakes". The numerous shipwrecks of Whitefish Bay—including those of the Comet, John B. Cowle, Drake, Samuel Mather, Miztec, Myron, Niagara, John M. Osborn, Sagamore, Superior City, and Vienna—are protected for future generations of sports divers by the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve.
The site is a venue for remembrance of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, and extending back to the loss in 1816 of "the very first ship known to sail on Superior, the sixty-foot trading vessel Invincible," which upended in gale force winds and towering waves near there. "Every loss was tragic."
There are critics that claim that the stewardship of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society over this lighthouse caused it to be "overdeveloped." Michigan Audubon Society filed a lawsuit that accused the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society of overdeveloping Whitefish Point and United States Fish & Wildlife Service of not protecting the site.The lawsuit was settled in 2002 when the parties agreed to govern the site with a management plan.

History
Construction on the first light began in 1847, and the lighthouse was said to resemble that at Old Presque Isle Light.
First lit in 1849, it was one of the first lighthouses on the shores of Lake Superior and is also the oldest active light on the lake. The original structure was outfitted with Lewis lamps, which were thereafter upgraded to a Fourth Order Fresnel lens.
The current structure, while modern looking, is a Civil War relic. Built in 1861, the iron skeletal steel framework was designed to relieve stress caused by high winds. A similar design is used at Manitou Island light in Lake Superior. It was equipped with a Third Order Fresnel lens.
The DCB-224 Carlisle & Finch aerobeacon in operation at Whitefish Point on November 3, 2007.
The light-emitting diode lantern installed at Whitefish Point in August 2011.
In 1968, the light was replaced with a DCB-224 aero beacon manufactured by the Carlisle & Finch Company. According to Volume 7 of the U.S. Coast Guard light list, it was visible for a distance of 26 nautical miles (48 km) in clear weather conditions, and had two unevenly spaced eclipses, and two flashes within every 20 second period. Putting aside questions of nostalgia, aesthetics, or appreciation for the engineering of a bygone era (as exemplified by the Fresnel lens), this iteration of lighthouse illumination was itself incredibly effective, and an endangered remnant of another bygone era.
The station was automated in 1971.
In 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners reported reduced intensity of the Whitefish Point light from June 7, 2011 until August 16, 2011 when the DCB-224 Series Carlisle & Finch aerobeacon lens was changed to a light-emitting diode (LED) lantern with a reduced range of 15 nautical miles (28 km) as permitted by Coast Guard rules and regulations adopted in 2003 for private aids to navigation. The aerobeacon lens is stored in a building on the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum complex for possible future public display.
The lighthouse is home to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, which has many shipwreck artifacts, including artifacts from shipwrecks in the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve and the SS Edmund Fitzgerald's bell which was recovered from the wreck in 1995. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is open for during the tourist season from 10 am to 6 pm, every day through October 31. The organization that operates the museum got 80.079% of its funding from the public in the year 2010.
The light is considered to iconic, and has been the subject of memorabilia. An official Michigan Historical Marker was erected in 1974. It is Registered Site L0272. The marker notes:
This light, the oldest on Lake Superior, began operating in 1849, though the present tower was constructed later. An early stopping place for Indians, Voyageurs, Coureur des bois and Jesuit missionaries, the point marks the course change for ore boats and other ships navigating this treacherous coastline to and from St. Mary's Canal. Since 1971 the light, fog signal, and radio beacon have been automated and controlled from Sault Ste. Marie.
The keepers were: 1848--1851: James B. Van Renselaer 1851--1853: Amos Stiles 1853--1856: William C. Crampton 1856--1859: Belloni McGulpin 1859--1861: Charles Garland 1861--1864: Joseph Kemp 1864--1868: Thomas Stafford 1868--1874: Edward Ashman 1874--1882: Charles J. Linke 1882--1883: Edward Chambers 1883--1903: Charles Kimball 1903--1931: Robert Carlson
Whitefish Point is on the Lake Superior coastline known as the "Graveyard of the Great Lakes". The numerous shipwrecks of Whitefish Bay—including those of the Comet, John B. Cowle, Drake, Samuel Mather, Miztec, Myron, Niagara, John M. Osborn, Sagamore, Superior City, and Vienna—are protected for future generations of sports divers by the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve.

This item comes from Walton & Grimm's _Windjammers: Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors_ (2002). According to that source, the chantey pertained to the African-American laborers on steamships of the Ward Line. The vessels were primarily engaged in loading up copper from mines in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Lake Superior) for transport down to the big cities of the Lake Erie area like Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo.
The men were charged with loading and unloading the copper using handtrucks or wheelbarrows—three days straight of near continuous labor.
The chantey was also sung by men who loaded up tugs with coal and wood in other ports. Like many chanteys, the noted verses of this one tend to "growl" about extreme work and substandard conditions.
The "tub of suds" evidently referred to a mixture of watered down liquor and chili pepper, designed to hype up the workers.
The song was remembered by several Ward Line officers (ca1930s), whose verses formed the compilation found in Walton & Grimm's book.
I selected from various verses and threw in some others.

Songquest: The Journals of Great Lakes Folklorist Ivan H. Walton
by Ivan H. Walton and Joe Grimm
Wayne State University Press, 2005
Paper: 978-0-8143-3234-4
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Ivan H. Walton was a pioneering folklorist who collected the songs and stories of aging sailors living along the shores of the Great Lakes in the 1930s. His collection is unique in the annals of Great Lakes folklore. It began as a search for songs but broadened into a collection of weather signs, shipboard beliefs, greenhorn tales, and stories of the intense rivalry between sailors and the steamboat men who replaced them. Edited by Joe Grimm, Songquest: The Journals of Great Lakes Folklorist Ivan H. Walton is a selection from the daily journals Walton wrote during his travels as a folklore collector.
It is clear that Walton, a professor of English at the University of Michigan, both admired the sailors of the Great Lakes for what they had done during their working years and worried about them as they entered the twilight of their lives. Walton went beyond the songs he set out to find and captured the pitch and roll of the Great Lakes alive with white-winged schooners. His writings provide a clear picture of the colorful individuals he met and interviewed--captains, cabin boys, tugmen, chandlers, boardinghouse owners, dredgers, and light keepers. Walton also documented the methods he used and recorded his personal thoughts about his nomadic life and the events going on around him during the 1930s, including the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt's election, and the end of Prohibition.
Songquest is a companion volume to Windjammers: Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors (Wayne State University Press, 2002), which contains the lyrics from more than a hundred of Walton's collected songs, as well as musical scores, sketches, and a compact disc of field recordings.
White-winged schooners once dominated commerce and culture on the Great Lakes, and songs relieved the hours on board, but that way of life and its music ended when steam-driven mechanical boats swept schooners from the inland seas. Recognizing in the late 1930s, almost too late, that this rich oral tradition was going to the grave along with the last generation of schoonermen, Ivan H. Walton undertook a quest to save the songs of the Great Lakes sailors. Racing time and its ravages, he searched out ancient mariners in lakefront hospitals, hangouts, and watering holes. Walton reconstructed songs from one of the most colorful periods in American history, discovering melodies and lyrics to more than a hundred songs. With its stories, lyrics, musical scores by folksinger/historian Lee Murdock, and accompanying CD, Windjammers ensures that sailing chanteys that have not been heard for over one hundred years can be heard again and again far into the future.

Because of the irregular shape of the Great Lakes, pilots — aware of the dangers within — ordinarily circumnavigate the lakes, even when overflying might be shorter.

Today's airliner can cross Lake Erie through the middle in ten minutes. Faster aircraft can do it in much less than four minutes. Over any point on any of the Great Lakes it is possible for the pilot of any jet airliner to shut down all his engines and literally glide to land. There are hundreds of ground-based, sea-based and air-based radios constantly monitoring emergency frequencies for any sign of trouble.Aware of the curious incidents over the Great Lakes, the Federal Aviation Administration several years ago instituted a special "Lake Reporting Service;" pilots on Great Lakes overflights make continuous reports to ground stations. A 10-minute delay in such a report automatically launches a search-and-rescue operation. This service has saved many lives that would have been lost to ordinary accidents, but the high incidence of inexplicable disasters has remained unaffected.

We are one
Nothing could be clearer under the sun
There's none you should hold dearer than the ones
Who will race at your side as we run
Forever to the end
To the end
We filled our glasses, drank a toast and raised our weary heads
Nothing but the finest for the things we leave unsaid
I woke up in another time, centuries ahead but still undone
We are gone
Always we are spinning around the sun
Nothing stops the time when you are done
It keeps on going and we run
Forever to the end
To the end
Out behind the cities all the trophies turn to rust
The things we've spent our lives creating slowly gather dust
The moon will hang as pale and as lonely as a ghost when we're gone
We are one
Nothing could be clearer under the sun
There are none you should hold dearer than the ones
Who will race at your side as we run
Forever to the end
We run forever
This is the sum of our endeavours.
