#OnThisDay Nov 7, 1885: The Canadian Pacific Railway steamer "Algoma" runs aground and breaks in two during a blinding snowstorm just north of Isle Royal. 46 passengers and crew die in what remains the largest single loss of life in the history of @lakesuperior.bsky.social shipping.

Some men hate eating oranges.

Cleaner than you.

“To see these fish in front of you is just a remarkable experience." Wisconsin Sea Grant's Anne Moser and author Rebecca Hogue Wojahn talk about lake #sturgeon and their new children's book, "Saving our Sturgeon," on WPR. www.wpr.org/news/childre...

It's on. See you in November.

Thanks for a Great day everyone.

Happy Lake Superior Day. Post your favorite photo of me.
