St. Marys Challenger, last port of call

[Brakie]

True, but I was referring to the German submarines in the Atlantic during both world wars. I would think tonnage sunk in those conflicts surpasses all the tonnage lost on the Great Lakes. And the last military action there was the War of 1812.

The hayday of the German U Boat along the Eastern and Gulf coast in WWII only lasted about two years before the tide was turned thanks to the hunter/killer groups and improved sonar.

Ton for ton I'm not sure there's more tonnage on the bottom of the Great Lakes then in the Atlantic since ships been sinking in the lakes for well over 150 years.The Walk-In-The-Water was lost in Erie Oct 31,1821.
