The [[Great Lakes]], a collection of five freshwater lakes located in North America, have been sailed upon since at least the 17th century, and thousands of ships have been sunk while traversing them. Many of these ships were never found, so the exact number of shipwrecks in the Lakes is unknown; the [[Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum]] estimates 6,000 ships and 30,000 lives lost,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shipwreckmuseum.com/memorial.phtml|title=The Great Lakes Mariners Memorial|publisher=[[Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091217111848/http://www.shipwreckmuseum.com/memorial.phtml|archive-date=December 17, 2009}}</ref> while historian and mariner Mark Thompson has estimated that the total number of wrecks is likely more than 25,000.<ref name="Graveyard"/> In the period between 1816, when the ''Invincible'' was lost, to the sinking of the [[SS Edmund Fitzgerald|''Edmund Fitzgerald'']] in 1975, the [[Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve|Whitefish Point]] area alone has claimed at least 240 ships.<ref name="Graveyard">{{cite book |title= Graveyard of the Lakes|year=2000|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Tog_ll_MYrkC|publisher=Wayne State University Press, Detroit. |first= Mark L.|last= Thompson |pages=17, 18, 22, 315, 317–330|isbn= 978-0-8143-3226-9}}</ref>
