Claim Text
In the Fitz’s day, there were more than 300 Great Lakes freighters on the water. Today, they are fewer than half that, including the Sykes, which I rode for a week across nearly 1,000 miles and three lakes, to see how the reality of Great Lakes shipping intersects with the mythology of its most famous wreck.
Simplified Text
The number of Great Lakes freighters has decreased from over 300 to less than half that number.
