In November of 1913, a great winter storm like no other recorded before hit the Great Lakes region. It would later become known as the White Hurricane, when cyclone-force winds pushed ships right off the lakes onto shorelines, against rocks and sank twelve across four of the five Great Lakes. Lake Huron bore the brunt of the damages and loss, but ships were sank also on Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and Lake Erie. It is believed 250 sailors and their crews lost their lives in that storm among the twelve ships that sank, as well as the others that were damaged or destroyed.
This episode explores the story of that epic storm.
