Brian -- The episode deals mostly with the cause of the October 1929 loss of the Grand Trunk carferry "Milwaukee" in Lake Michigan. As you know, the entire crew of 52 was lost, and the wreck was only discovered in 1976. Underwater filming of the wreck was done near Milwaukee. Footage was also taken of the museum vessel "City of Milwaukee" at Manistee, which was the vessel built to replace the stricken "Milwaukee". I'm set to record this one.
