What is the stuff at the bottom of lake Superior?
The SS Edmund Fitzgerald and the brave men who died on board
I assume OP is referring to https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/hazardous/docs/sites/stlouis/lakesupbarrelshc0308.pdf
TL;DR The military dumped thousands of barrel of undocumented chemicals into Lake Superior in the 50s and 60s
Awesome. Our government does so much cool, responsible stuff.
