ship traffic[edit]

Lake Huron sees more ship traffic than any other after Erie, & is called "the expresssway lake". Trekphiler 00:30, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not part of Agassiz[edit]

Removed the reference to glacial lake agassiz - The great lakes were formed by glacial action, but agassiz was much farther west. The article linked above has a fantastic map showing this. shaggy 04:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fishing?[edit]

Anyone know if it has a fishing industry?

Good article on Great Lakes levels[edit]

Lynch, Jim, November 08. 2010 Low Great Lakes levels prompt new call for action: U.S., Canada look at options to slow flow out of Lake Huron Detroit News.

Please clean up the wording of this arctcle[edit]

"The Matoa had passed between Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario just after midnight. On the 9th, just after six in the morning, the Senator pushed upstream. Less than an hour later, the Manola passed through."

This really no way to start a paragraph, it just doesn't make any sense (what is a Matoa; midnight when?; The Senator, like a US Senator or is that a boat?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sedna1000 (talkcontribs) 01:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like an excerpt from a book, but it makes some sense in context. The Matoa and Senator are boats of some kind. The entire paragraph should be rewritten though. Take a shot at it!--Asher196 (talk) 02:23, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent descriprion[edit]

In the intro, it refers to the "wide Straits of Mackinac". In the geology section, they are the "narrow Straits of Mackinac". Might be best to just put a distance value in (e.g., x miles wide), rather than contradictory adjectives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.42.234 (talk) 19:47, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two and a bit years later, I came here to note the same problem. Instead I've implemented your suggestion but used the depth as well ( "5-mile-wide (8.0 km), 20-fathom-deep (120 ft; 37 m)") using the Straits of Mackinac article as the source. Thryduulf (talk) 01:18, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No map?[edit]

The article's lack of a modern map indicating the lake's geographical features (islands, bays, etc.) and surrounding cities is a curious omission. For that matter, there is not such a map accompanying any of the main articles for the five Great Lakes. Starling2001 (talk) 19:04, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error[edit]

The following coordinate fixes are needed for

You haven't said what you think is wrong with the coordinates, and they certainly appear to be correct. If you still think that there is an error, you'll need to give a clear explanation of what it is. Deor (talk) 17:12, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dwight Boyer, and any book published before 1975 about great lakes shipwrecks that is more of a story are not reliable.[edit]

A lot of these books had the main priority of telling stories and not telling facts, so I would be careful about using them as sources. I've heard this especially about John Greenwood and Dwight Boyer, but it would also apply to William Ratigan and other authors in the same vain.
