Lost Underwater Factories and War Relics in the Great Lakes! Ep. 6

In our journey through Lake Huron’s hidden realms, we’ve uncovered ancient hunting grounds buried beneath the waves, explored shipwrecks steeped in tragedy, delved into sinkholes harboring Earth’s earliest life forms, revealed submerged forests frozen in time, and traced the glacial forces that shaped the lake’s underwater terrain. Now, we turn our gaze to the marks left by humanity—remnants of war and industry that lie scattered across the lakebed.

From World War II military exercises to the logging boom of the 19th century, Lake Huron has been a silent witness to human ambition, conflict, and ingenuity. These remnants are more than artifacts—they are the remains of a time when humanity sought to conquer nature, leaving an indelible mark on this vast body of water. What stories do these relics tell? And how have they shaped the lake’s history?
