Today we think of the Great Lakes as a calm and tranquil haven. Fierce
storms may occasionally roar across the waters but they are a rare
occurrence, the aberration of natural violence rather than that of man.
However during World War II the Great Lakes were a boiling cauldron of
naval activity, most long forgotten by the public. With the passing of the
Greatest Generation memory is lost leaving up to historians to tell the true
story of this remarkable period.  This presentation pulls back the blanket
of mystery long thrown over the Inland Seas during the Second World War.
Pay special attention to what could have happened at the Soo Locks!
